git-cvsimport BUG: some commits are completely out of phase (but cvsps sees them all right)

Maybe it's due to the other bug that I reported with git-cvsimport a few days ago: namely, it does NOT see branches created by CVS with no commits in them (ie, create the branch and that's it, don't touch anything).

The problem is very serious, since it seems to trigger another bug which prevents git-cvsimport from working at all. cvsps DOES see the commit correctly (branc exists for this file at 1.47.6):

src/java/com/one2team/database/bean/impl/relation/reporting/Register.java:1.47->1.47.6.1
---

But on the imported git repository, the diff is rather 1.60 -> 1.47.6.1! As a result, the repository is plain unusable.

As to the first problem, git finds 6 branches, cvs log finds 8 for the same module. git finds 22 tags, cvs log finds 29!
