Just continue with cvsimport, then git rebase origin. That'll drop the
commits that you made when the same commit have been discovered
in CVS.

I personally do the cvs import into a separate repo using a cron job. That
extra repo is my origin so I get up-to-date using git fetch and rebase just
as if the CVS commits would come from a real repo.
