This page has the necessary information:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit

You'll probably need to enable Git support on Savannah first (I don't  
see it mentioned, but it should be easy), just to make sure it's OK  
and you have the necessary permissions.
Next step is the conversion.  That page tells how to get the CVS  
repository from Savannah.  I would probably use git-cvsimport from the  
latest git for the conversion.  Or maybe I would try parsecvs as well  
and check the results.  It's very important to verify the repository  
with gitk and qgit.
Then push the repository to Savannah as described.  Make sure you can  
check out.  If you have anything to commit and push, check it too  
(maybe some documentation change mentioning git).  Once everything is  
working, disable CVS support for the project.
