I'm afraid git-* packages shipped with SuSE 10.2 are way too old (according
to http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/
the version is 1.4.3, but current one is 1.5.4.3)

Setting up a public repository is described in the git manual [1].
For conversion from CVS you need git-cvsimport utility (shipped with git).

However, converting GiNaC CVS is a bit involved, because some very old files
(install.sh,v missing,v, etc.) are broken. I propose to clone my repository
(the content is almost identical to that of CVS) instead, i.e.

[cd to some suitable directory]
git clone --bare git://ffmssmsc.jinr.ru:443/varg/ginac.git ginac.git
[start git-daemon and configure web server to enable gitweb]

Best regards,
