Well, I have a screen running yet with bash history showing most of the
commands...

Basically, with a local $CVSROOT, import every tag/release/branch you want
into git as a tree:
for b in $(cat ../tags.txt); do echo $b; rm -Rf * .git/index; cvs export -kk -r $b -d ./ pgsql > /dev/null && git add --all && git tag -f cvs-tag-$b $(git write-tree); done

And then, it's a simple matter of letting git diff the git ref with the corespnding CVS export tree them:
for b in $(cat ../tags.txt); do echo $b; git diff $b cvs-tag-$b > /tmp/pg-parsecvs-$b.diff; done

a.
