I'd expect the Git mirror to work as follows:
First the Emacs-CVS is converted to an internal Emacs-Git, then a second
Emacs-Git (or maybe just another branch) is created which adds the
.gitignore files (and any other changes required/useful for Git, it
could remove the .cvsignore files as well for example).
Thereafter the internal Emacs-Git can be updated by an automatic script
which will also merge those changes into the external Emacs-Git.
That's how I do it for my Bzr branch, although Jason's Bzr repository
currently only corresponds to the "internal" Emacs-Bzr, so I haven't
bothered to create an external Emacs-Bzr because it's not widely
used enough.
So, as long as the mirror is only one-way I don't see a need for those
files to appear in the CVS.
