cvsimport: Improve documentation of CVSROOT and CVS module determination
Document the fact that git-cvsimport tries to find out CVSROOT from CVS/Root and $ENV{CVSROOT} and CVS_module from CVS/Repository. Also use ` ` syntax for all filenames for consistency. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <frank@lichtenheld.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
