Hej Ben,
thanks for looking into that - here some short answers:

a) The manual test (as you describe it) succeeds
b) The test case 9200 failes, and now I know why:

diff --git a/t/t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh b/t/t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh
index b59be9a..d2c3c37 100755
--- a/t/t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh
+++ b/t/t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh
@@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ then
      test_done
  fi

-CVSROOT=$PWD/cvsroot
+CVSROOT=$PWD/xx
  CVSWORK=$PWD/cvswork
  GIT_DIR=$PWD/.git
  export CVSROOT CVSWORK GIT_DIR



c) I need to send a patch tomorrow

d) FYI: I compiled cvs from scratch, from a file called cvs-1.11.23.tar.gz
    and the code is in cvs-1.11.23/src/mkmodules.c:942

if (root_dir && strcmp (root_dir, current_parsed_root->directory))
   error (1, 0,
          "Cannot initialize repository under existing CVSROOT: `%s'",
          root_dir);
     free (root_dir);
