I tried it with two completely stupid scripts and the nice cvsps.

Here is the tree to browse:
  http://ehlo.org/~kay/git/gitweb.cgi?p=klibc.git;a=log

In the CVS repo directory export patchsets as individual patches with a
header containing metadata:
  cvsps -x -b HEAD -g -p ../../patches/

split exported patches into individial files like author data, log, file list:
  for i in `seq 1 546`; do ../parse-cvsps-patch.pl ../patches/$i.patch ;done

apply it to an completely empty git-repo:
  for i in `seq 1 546`; do ../apply.sh ../patches/$i.patch ;done

Stupid scripts are attached. cvsps is here:
