Since this is Python documentation within a package, I'd rather refer to the python modules as _modules_ and not files. I.e. please use '.' instead of '/':

+- cvs.cvs - Interaction with CVS repositories + +- cvs.symbol_cache - Local CVS symbol cache + +- cvs.changeset - Collect individual CVS revisions into commits + +- cvs.commit_states - Map Git commits to CVS states + +- cvs.revision_map - Map CVS revisions to various metainformation + +- git.git - Interaction with Git repositories

Probably you should drop the direct reference to git-remote-cvs.

Please also s/git_remote_cvs/git_remote_helpers/ in the error message.
Otherwise, it all looks good :)
