The t9605 test you sent me is now part of cvs-fast-export's 
regression-test suite, along with suitably adapted versions of
t960[1-4] from the git tree.  Here is a summary of the results:

t9601:
|========================================================================
|                                            | cvsps    | cvs-fast-export
|import a module with a vendor branch        | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|check master out of git repository          | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|check a file imported once                  | Fails    | Succeeds 
|check a file imported twice                 | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|check a file imported then modified on HEAD | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|...imported, modified, then imported again  | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|check a file added to HEAD then imported    | Succeeds | Fails
| a vendor branch whose tag has been removed | Succeeds | Succeeds
|========================================================================

t9602:
|========================================================================
|                                            | cvsps    | cvs-fast-export
|import module                               | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|test branch master                          | Succeeds | Succeeds 
|test branch vendorbranch                    | Succeeds | Fails
|test_branch B_FROM_INITIALS                 | Fails    | Succeeds
|test_branch B_FROM_INITIALS_BUT_ONE         | Fails    | Fails
|test_branch B_MIXED                         | Fails    | Succeeds
|test_branch B_SPLI                          | Succeeds | Succeeds
|test branch vendortag                       | Fails    | Succeeds
|test tag T_ALL_INITIAL_FILES                | Succeeds | Succeeds
|test tag T_ALL_INITIAL_FILES_BUT_ONE        | Fails    | Fails
|test_tag T_MIXED                            | Fails    | Succeeds
|========================================================================
