Yes, now it works correctly and can go down to master IMHO. One little notice, 
though. It is still prints out "* UNKNOWN LINE *" for each authorname in the 
new format.
This is not result of your patch - it started doing this immidiatedly after I 
tried updated version of cvsps (I have not mentioned this in my previous 
mail, sorry). Let's wait if somebody will fix it.
In any way, 

ANNOUNCE:
=========
With my patch to cvsps and Junio's patch to git-cvsimport.perl it is now 
possible to import authorname+email pairs correctly basing on contents of 
CVSROOT/users file. Currently cvsps can't retrieve this file in --cvs-direct 
mode (that git-cvsimport.perl uses) so you'll need to check it out by hand. 
May be if David will find some time for it this limitation will be lifted.

So now you can do either:
cvs checkout CVSROOT/users
or
mkdir CVSROOT && echo "author:A U Thor <author@domain.xz>" >CVSROOT/users
and then
git cvsimport -p "--users-file,CVSROOT/users"

you will import all mapped usernames correctly.
