ESR's tool, cvs-fast-import, which "man git-cvsimport" itself recommends 
to be used instead, shows none of those messages, so I believe that 
these can be fixed by a change towards cvs-fast-import.

I've tried out reposurgen on our repository (with the "faq" module 
removed), and it seems to work almost perfectly.  "make allcompare" 
showed nothing missing from the git version.  The original import 
pseudo-branch GNUPLOT_BETA is, correctly, dropped, all other tags and 
branch tips compare equal, and .cvsignore files are also taken care of.

All in all, I'm quite impressed by this tool.
