(Except probably you will rebase out a lot of fixes to your changes, etc, which I think is 100% ok and even preferred.) Probably that's that you are thinking. It may be that the import of 3rd-party sources is best done straight into CVS, once you have a plan (vs the actual changes in a git repo derived from CVS with the imports). I am not familiar with git-cvs translation tools, but I would expect them to be weakest for things like importing.
