For git, the sole difference between a merge and an import is that the
former has the branch as a parent commit.  All the other history is
reconstructed by git on the fly rather than tracked.  So just
redeclaring the respective CVS checkins (which can be discerned by the
log messages) as merges from the respective branch commit should be
sufficient to let git figure out the corresponding original checkins
in the branch.
