I'll have a go at it as well then, I just imported the Roxen tree
through cvsimport, only took about 2 hours (over the net) and the
resulting repo is 22MB roughly.  You can't imagine how much of a relief
it was to notice that importing didn't barf on the Swedish characters
sometimes in the logs and/or files (this was an absolute nightmare when
trying to convert to SVN/SVK).

You checked it into the origin branch?
Maybe you should not be checking it into origin, but push it upstream
without doing that, then let cvsimport pull it again.  I'll look into it
as well.
