My experience with git-cvsimport has been poor.  For me it often puts 
commits on the wrong branches.  It uses the first commit to the branch as 
the branch start time, so a branch will show commits to head as being on 
the branch until the first commit to the branch.

The only cvs->git converter that's really worked for me (does all 
branches, tags, keyword removal, ...) has been parsecvs [1] which isn't 
terribly user friendly and is not incremental.
