To me, not being able to check anything out is a problem.

I'm not following at all.
Are you saying that one isn't supposed to be able to check anything
out from a cvsimport-generated repository?
If so, how does it differ from a repository from which
one is supposed to be able to check  things out?

I did eventually manage to get something other than a blank look from git,
but I'm not sure what, if anything to do with it:

address@hidden sim]$ cd simulavr-from-cvs
address@hidden simulavr-from-cvs]$ ls -a
./  ../  .git/
address@hidden simulavr-from-cvs]$ git branch
  cvs-upstream
* master
  simulavrxx-0_8_001
address@hidden simulavr-from-cvs]$
