Indeed. A dirty little trick would be to edit $(git --exec-path)git-cvsimport and put in your desired changes.

A less ugly solution would be to patch git-cvsimport.perl to add an option --into-existing-repository that does not complain when the Git repository is already initialized, unless the 'origin' branch exists, too.
