I agree on that, but you _can_ try a range of importers. I think you
should give Keith Packard's parsecvs a try. It is memory-bound and
won't do incremental imports but it manages to import some repos
cvsimport can't do directly.

The other option is to use cvs2svn, which is the most conservative and
careful importer around, and most likely to be able to deal with your
insane tags. And then git-svnimport right after ;-)

cheers
