cvs to git migration

git has replaced cvs as the version control system for drupal. -

There is a number of articles on to how handle git
but they don't really address the needs of site maintainers.
I am aware that this is a developers' group but since I found no better place to turn to...
... let me git it a try, anyway.

I have found no article specifically dealing with the needs of drupal admins
when having to MOVE FROM CVS TO GIT ON PRODUCTIVE SITES.

Let me ask a couple of questions as a site admin on Linux systems
on what to do in order to successfully move to git.

--> Actually I am going to tell you how I used to do things via cvs
hoping to get hands-on tips on how to do them via git.
