Thanks. Now the package description says
Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to
incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the
cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.
so it seems safe to lower the severity. Keeping the bug because the lack
of a robust incremental import tool from cvs is still unfortunate.
