Fair enough.

The conversion is already far better than I expected it would be when
we were first discussing this switch, so my inclination is to just live
with this one wart.
I spent more time over the weekend comparing various branches' histories
between cvs2cl and Max's repository. I found a lot of places where
cvs2cl had problems :-(, but none where the git history could be blamed.
I'm ready to sign off on this conversion process as being Good Enough,
modulo two points:
* Change the committer name assigned to manufactured commits, as already
mentioned.
* Please make the manufactured commits read "cvs2git" not "cvs2svn".
I don't want people wondering in future when it was we used SVN.
AFAIK both of these are trivial configuration fixes.
