Hm, git-cvsimport created a master and an origin branch. And then I push the origin branch to the bare repository to share it with my colleagues. So for the users, origin/origin contains the original CVS content, so we need to make the diff against that, don't we? That's how I think this whole thing works, I might be wrong :-)
