If you want incremental import support, then that's the best thing to
do. There was some discussion about this in January [1] and it doesn't
look like cvsps-3 has changed since then, so if you want to
incrementally update a Git clone of a CVS repository then cvsps-2 is
really the only way to go.
If you're doing a one-off import then I recommend ignoring git-cvsimport
and investigating cvs2svn[2] and cvs-fast-export [3].
