That's how I did my kernel history, and cvsps has a special "BK mode", 
which knows to trust the CVS timestamps more when importing from a BK CVS 
archive (since the timestamps will then be exact).

That said, the quality of the result isn't stellar. The CVS export will 
obviously linearize the BK information, so you do lose things. So there's 
actually a better kernel BK->git archive around which doesn't do that, but 
that was done apparently from a custom database, so it's not reproducible.
