I usually rsync locally cvs tree and then convert it to git:

    rsync://anonvcs.gentoo.org/vcs-public-cvsroot/{CVSROOT,gentoo/xml/}
    cvsps --root :local:/path/to/ --fast-export gentoo/xml/htdocs | git fast-import

Takes around 5 minutes to convert.

$ git log --stat -S ' devpts ' # shows that 'devpts' suggestion comes from an LVM guide:
