As stated in one mail I sent earlier on, the real problem is that 
git-cvsimport won't detect empty branches for two reasons:

* it relies on cvsps output, which doesn't tell about it either;
* however, it doesn't make use of another file that cvsps generates in 
$HOME/.cvsps by default, which can help about giving this information.

I'll try the following:

* instead of capturing cvsps output directly, I'll use its -p option, which 
has the advantage of generating one file per patchset;
* I'll consolidate the information of the other generated file in a hash and 
correlate the information found in there with the individual patchset: my 
hope is that I'll be able to detect so-far undetected branches and create 
them.
