Once I had the change set information sitting in memory, it was far easier to just generate the appropriate git commands than attempt to recreate the cvsps output format...

Trust me, it wasn't because I wanted to replace git-cvsimport; it's solely that cvsps was generating complete garbage for most of my repositories.
