CVS to GIT migration

Steps to migrate METViewer from CVS to GITHub

1. Download and install cvs2git package : cvs2git
2. Get direct (filesystem) read-only access to a copy of the CVS repository
3. Create directory <path> for blob and dump files and <temp_dir> for temp files
4. Use cvs2git command to create blob and dump files with METVIewer tags:
   python cvs2git \
--force-tag=mv_* --use-rcs --tmpdir=<temp_dir> \
--blobfile=<path>/git-blob.dat --dumpfile=<path>/git-dump.dat \
--username=<cvs_user_name> \
<path_to_CVS_root>/apps/verif/metviewer
5. Initialize a git repository:
   mkdir METViewer
cd METViewer
git init
6. Load the dump files into the new git repository using git fast-import
   cat <path>/cvs2svn-tmp/git-blob.dat <path>/cvs2svn-tmp/git-dump.dat | git fast-import
7. Run the contrib/git-move-refs.py script from within the git repository.
8. Explicitly check out the "master" version of the files into your working tree:
   git checkout
9. Add origin
   git remote add origin https://github.com/NCAR/METViewer.git
10. Push the source tree into GitHub including tags:
    git push --tags -u origin master
