Not having looked at the repo in detail, but I bet this happened
because the git mirror grabbed it's snapshot in the middle of a cvs
commit with multiple files. Since cvs doesn't have atomic commits, I
think that kind of thing can happen. Does that seem possible wrt these
commits specifically?

I don't really know how to fix that. It's kind of hard to do
transaction safe replication from a system without transactions ;)

As for fixing it, I guess we can try the
rewind-to-commit-before-this-and-rerun. That'll break people who have
branched after, but last time it seemed that most peoples git clients
would clean that up automatically. Which commits are these exactly?
