Hmm.. Why do you use the "-N" flag?
Wouldn't it be much cleaner to _not_ create all those sub-directories
under ".git-tmp", and instead do something like
"cvs -q -d %s checkout -d .git-tmp -r%s '%s/%s'" ...
"mv -f .git-tmp/%s %s\n", dir ? dir+1 : name, name
With that changed (and tested ;), I'll happily take it.
