I too am glad to see some work go into the cvsimport script. So just
to clear things up, previously you said this:

This is the problem, and one that is easily "solved" by just keeping a
copy of the old command.

Remember that for many users of these tools it doesn't matter if the
history is correct or not, as long as the head checkout contains the
right files and they are able to submit new changes. With this
definition of "works" git-cvsimport is not that broken I think.
