CVS's branch does not appear on cvsps's output, until you do a commit to it. git-cvsimport relies on cvsps and can not do much about this...
Last problem may arise, if you try to do incremental imports from cvs to git. For incremental imports you must start import from same location in cvs each time. If you have made first import from beginning of history, sequent imports must start from there too. Otherwise cvsps will renumber patch sets.
