Everything in CVS currently works fine in git for me. I believe the issue is that if the binaries change often, the size of the repository grows (as they don't pack well or at all). This becomes an issue when you first do a checkout, and it grabs the entire history. Does CVS do well with binary files? I realise the difference is that when you checkout, you don't get all of the versions of every binary file!
