I have never succeeded in using git-cvs for anything real. Even attempts to simply clone a CVS repository for the benefits of easier searching failed miserably with non-trivial repositories. Not sure if committing to CVS via git-cvs is possible at all. git-svn is much better than git-cvs IME. It is able to emulate most of the SVN workflow and still add detached commits and handy searches/diffs. Not exactly like the real Git, but much, much better than git-cvs. I think I've read on IRC about someone trying to migrate website build/translation tools to Git.
