You must be using the beta version of cvsps, cvsps-2.2b1

,---- From the CHANGELOG:
| 
| 2.2b1
| - add a new line item in the PatchSet output which indicates which 
|   branches fork off from after this PatchSet.  This is actually

|   Branch' thing is actually broken by design, and is now deprecated.
`----

git-cvsimport uses the -A ancestor mechanism (after patching cvsps-2.1
for some corner cases), this ignores the Branches line.

I'd be interested in knowing the git-cvsimport authors' opinion on
reworking it to use the Branches mechanism.
