I hacked cvsps a little bit, to move the first commit on the branch
right after the correct branch point, before writing the output. This is
a hack, but seems to work at least for the PG repository.

I'm not sure if we want to run a hacked version of cvsps. But then
again, the current conversion isn't exactly error-free either, and we're
missing tags...
