cvps sometimes can't identify a branch for a specific revision, it shows
messages like:
WARNING: revision 1.36.2.2 of file Makefile.in on unnamed branch
and uses #CVSPS_NO_BRANCH as branch name in its output.
This checkin makes it so that git-cvsimport ignores such branches, and when they
appear as ancestor branch, it maps them to HEAD.

I tried to import the Mozilla CVS Repository into git, just for fun, and it
failed. This is one of the patches that are required for it.
I hope I did this right, I'm not so familiar with git...
Documentation/SubmittingPatches says to mail patches to the maintainer, who is
that? :)
