It's a really good idea. cvsps has been for a while a (limited, buggy) attempt at that. One thing that bothers me in the cvs2svn algorithm is that is not stable in its decisions about where the branching point is -- run the import twice at different times and it may tell you that the branching point has moved.
This is problematic for incremental imports. If we fudged that "it's around *here*" we better remember we said that and not go changing our story. Git is too smart for that ;-)
