Is this something that can be retrospectively done? Is it

David already answered the second question, and it is probably simpler
to just redo the import with -A unless there is some complication with
that (like you no longer have access to the CVS files).
However, to answer your first question: it can be fixed after the fact
by rewriting history within the git repository; see git-filter-branch.
So ideally I would have spotted the -A flag originally! I have had
something of an information overload with git, gitweb and so on
recently.
I decided to re-import with the -A flag as there is (much) less
chance of me mucking it up!
Thanks,
Rob
