The breakage you describe might be the same breakage that I recognized
in June 2007:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/50736
At that time, I wrote a script (git-transplant) that fixed a broken
import from CVS for me:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/50746
The discussion in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/50789
explains the reason for the script a bit more detailed.
But note that I never finished git-transplant and I also failed to
convince anyone that the idea behind the script is of any general value.
Instead, I decided that git-cvsimport is not the right tools for me; and
since then I use parsecvs to convert my repositories.
