When it drops the extra commit, is there a way to ask git-rebase to
keep the textual change of the original commit, but use the commit
information from the imported CVS commit?  This way, the resulting Git
repository would match that of another user who performs an initial
git-cvsimport of the entire CVS repository.

Can fromcvs read from a remote CVS repository via pserver or does it
only parse the RCS files directly?  I have only pserver access to our
CVS repo,
