I should probably point out that there are still bugs in git-cvsimport-script; for one thing, it seems to fail to register a tag associated with the head, and I have yet to get the "recognize merge" feature to actually work. It's also possible -- but I haven't verified it -- that two tags which are aliases may not be properly registered.
