I never had that problem.  See 
http://repo.or.cz/w/libvncserver.git?a=commit;h=8dead0759febaa7176507e1bde13ebd9d2a30720
for a commit that was imported with cvsimport.

So your issue must lie somewhere else.

BTW do you have the repository locally?  Then you should import with 
cvs2svn or parsecvs instead.  These programs are both faster and more 
accurate than cvsimport.  And AFAIK you can use cvsimport on the generated 
repositories to update them incrementally.

Ciao,
Dscho
