This is probably more of a cvsps question than a GIT question, but
AFAICT, the cvsps upstream is mostly inactive these days.
I tried to import the PostgreSQL repository, using
git-cvsimport -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot -k -C pgsql pgsql
However, after a bit of activity, git-cvsimport hangs at the following
line
cvs rlog: Logging pgsql/src/win32
strace doesn't show any system call activtiy in the cvsps process
(which consumes 100% CPU). cvsps is Debian's 2.1-2 version.
Is there some kind of replacement for cvsps which works more reliably?

I think "git fast-import" has a CVS frontend. I'm not sure though,
so I leave finding out and trying it as an exercise for you ;-)
It requires file access to the CVS repository, afaiu.

Yes, cvs2svn, which can now also output to git. But note: cvs2svn only
supports one-time conversions (not incremental), you need to use the
trunk version of cvs2svn, and using it to convert to git is not yet
documented very well. See the following thread:
http://marc.info/?l=git&m=118592701426175&w=4
Please let us know how it goes!

You can try set of patches to cvsps there (see GitLinks at Git Wiki,
or git-cvsimport entry at InterfacesFrontendsAndTools)
http://ydirson.free.fr/en/software/scm/cvsps.html
Or you can try other CVS importers (see InterfacesForntendsAndTools):
- parsecvs by Keith Packard, used to import X.Org, seems to be
unmaintaned, requires access to *,v files (but check out cvssuck)
- fromcvs by Simon 'corecode' Schubert, uses git-fast-import,
IIRC in Ruby
- cvs2svn has _experimental_ support for git export (git-fast-import?)
so you can try this as well.
