git-cvsimport should respect the --bare option when doing an initial import
to a new repository and it should detect if a repository is bare when doing
an update. Currently, when run with the -C option pointing to a bare
repository, git-cvsimport creates a new gitdir under the old repository,
like this:

Initialized empty Git repository in <...>/bare.git/.git/

Try using GIT_DIR=. to use an existing bare repository. It worked for
me, but I was not using the -C option.
