This seems to be a basic problem with cvsps's ability to divine what actually happened. It seems like it is only focusing on timestamps, and not recognizing that when you create a branch, the tag of each file is important.

There isn't much that cvsps-import can do, other than push it to 'cvsps' to do a better job.

If we did get cvsps fixed, then we would have to look at changing cvsps-import to not think it had already converted those patches. Which should be possible, just remove stuff from the map files, and it won't know about the work it has already done, and then it should re-do it with different revision ids.
