Yes, it seems the git-cvs package offer git-cvsserver - A CVS server emulator 
for GIT.

About GIT and emacs, I expose what I have done:

  1. Install emacs 21.x

  2. Install GIT packages

  3. Get a GIT repository

  4. Add the below lines to the .emacs file
        ;; GIT
        (require 'git)
        (add-to-list 'vc-handled-backends 'GIT)

  5. cd to the directory which keeps the ".git" directory

  7. Execute emacs

  8. Execute the emacs command "M-x git-status"

To avoid losing the 'history', I propose to have three modules in the
official GIT repository:

(a) One to keep the already cvs obsolete module, hosted
    now at "OLD-gnuherds-app"
      http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/?root=gnuherds-app

    Use git-cvsimport to get the CVS history and keep it
    at the a GIT module.

(b) Another to keep the current cvs module, which will be
    obsolete. It is hosted now at "gnuherds-app"
      http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/?root=gnuherds-app

    This module was added to be able to forget the garbage at (a).

    Use git-cvsimport to get the CVS history and keep it
    at the a GIT module.

(c) Create a new module only at GIT repository, no at CVS,
    to keep Klaus' proposal when it be ready.

    This module will allow us to forget the old but current
    architecture at (b).


If you agree, when Klaus' proposal be ready I will talk with the Savannah
administrator to try to setup all this.

I am not sure if that names will be right?. Any improvement?.
