Maybe you can try skipping SVN altogether (needs "git-cvs" package on 
Ubuntu):

export CVSROOT=/rsynced/directory
test -d "$CVSROOT/CVSROOT" || echo "Wrong cvsroot..."
mkdir imported
cd imported
git cvsimport matplotlib

This at least shows some files in the first revisions. You can probably 
then just graft the two histories together at a suitable point.

Apparently, it also needs some use of "git filter-branch" to get rid of 
the top-level matplotlib/ directory.
