title: How do I import an existing CVS module into a subdirectory of an existing git repository
body: <p>I'm resurrecting a rather old code project, from when I was using CVS regularly, as a component in a new project that I've already been working on using git. I still have access to the CVS archive the old project's module is in, so I was just going to use git-cvsimport to get the commit history and go from there. However, this is just creating a new git repository inside of the current one. It's entirely possible I need to do this as a multistep process where I go CVS -> fresh git repository and then use something else to get it into the existing git repository.</p>
  
  <p>Running this in newproj/newsubdir ($CVSROOT is already correctly set in my shell configuration):</p>
  
  <pre><code>git cvsimport -k -o master -u -s \- -A ~/Documents/cvs-authors.txt oldproj
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gets me a brand new repository newproj/newsubdir/.git/ with all of the correct commits (comments, timestamps, history), and with HEAD where I want it.</p>
  
  <p>What I want is for the historical CVS commits to be as if they were always in newproj/newsubdir/oldproj-file1, newproj/newsubdir/oldproj-file2, etc. In my experience, git has the magic to do this kind of thing, but I couldn't find an obvious fit to my situation.</p>
