IMHO, you will *have to* use -p, since otherwise you won't be able to get data 
from
a ,v file that's already been checked-out from with a lock (co -l) without 
breaking
the lock.


About patchsets, RCS users can indeed commit several files at a time
with a single log message, so for some RCS repos it would make sense to
reconstruct patchsets.

I don't think so - it would only help when you have local access to the
cvs repository.  In fact, it would be a similar approach to parsecvs,
which currently allows to convert from cvs to git - you may want to take
a look at it (available from git repo at
git://git.freedesktop.org/~keithp/parsecvs).
