Then what is needed is an exporter from those cvs branches into git. Well, don't we have one already? If it does not work for dirty changes, wouldn't it be better to fix it so it is restartable, just like when rebase stops it lets you fix up and go on, without having you to write "From: " or GIT_AUTHOR_* yourself and just does the right thing?
