I've pushed this to github as
http://github.com/peterjc/biopython-cvs-import/tree/master

$ cd biopython_git
$ git remote add origin git at github.com:peterjc/biopython-cvs-import.git
$ git push origin master
$ git push origin master --tags

This won't be automatically updated, so please don't fork it!
