The problem is that your conversion script has the following lines:

    git fast-import --export-marks=../../git-marks.dat < ../../cp.blob
    git fast-import --import-marks=../../git-marks.dat < ../../cp.dump
    cat ../../git-marks.dat ../../cp.dump | git fast-import

The first two lines do exactly the same thing as the third line.  You
need *either* the first two lines *or* the third line, not both.

Version 2.3.0 of cvs2git is quite old.  I recommend that you use at
least version 2.4.0, or even better the trunk version.
