In case anybody is following this, the issue that Robin found was in
release 2.2.0 of cvs2svn/cvs2git, but had already been fixed in the
current trunk version...

Conclusion 1: Please use the trunk version of cvs2git, not release
2.2.0.  Trunk is usually the most stable version available, especially
for 2git conversions.

Conclusion 2: I've really got to get around to making a new release :-/
