If you involve CVS (or any other SCM) you must rebase on top of the

Good point.  I can also keep a second "pure" git clone of the CVS repo
from which other users make copies.

Can fromcvs read from a remote CVS repository via pserver or does it
only parse the RCS files directly?  I have only pserver access to our
CVS repo,

RCS only. Note that sometimes you have rsync access. If not politely ask
the admin of the repo that you get read access to the raw files. (the CVSROOT/*
files are not needed in case that is a concern).

Thank you.  I'll try this suggestion.
