cvs importing a forked project

Hello,

I have a project (several actually) where development was done in cvs
for 10 years.  Then, about 5 years ago, a copy of the latest was made
and development continued in a new project.
Development in the old project stopped for the most part.

Is there any way where I can combine these two projects in git?
Basically, take the newer project's first commit and make its parent
the the last commit of the older project.
Development was pretty linear.

Thanks,
~Eric
