I didn't quite know how to interpret the "as short as possible" in
Use the -d dir option to create a directory called
dir for the working files, instead of using the
module name. Unless you also use -N, the paths
created under dir will be as short as possible.It would appear you do.

Seems to work.
The rm is still needed though. Without it, cvs can get confused.
skimo -- git-cvs2git: propagate mode information
Let cvs checkout in a temporary directory rather than using the pipe option to avoid loss of mode information.
