I've tried this. I have `git cvsimport` seemingly working on the
current Git 1.7.9 build, while my build reports the following SHA1
error:
~~~~
$ CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cygwin.com:/cvs/src git cvsimport -C cygwin -r cvs -k cygwin
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/Adam/vcs/cygwin/.git/
fatal: refs/remotes/cvs/master: not a valid SHA1
fatal: master: not a valid SHA1
fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born
checkout failed: 32768

That's a showstopper, currently, and it'll probably take a little while
to work out where it's going wrong, since I have very little familiarity
with Git's internals. I am working on it, but I don't have an ETA at
present.
(Of course, if anyone fancies helping out, or having a wonderful
revelation akin to Corinna's earlier OpenSSL one, that would be
exceedingly useful right now.)

I've done this, and everything seems to be fine there, at least for the
exceedingly basic tests I've done.
