Long-term synchronization between CVS and git is fragile. Consider converting to git altogether. If that is not possible for political or technical reasons, consider converting your repository to Subversion (IMHO a no-brainer in even the most conservative shop), then using git-svn as a git-to-Subversion bridge (it is much more reliable than git-to-CVS).
