Here's one example: Ahh, looking at cvsps source, I think I see what's going on. It's deciding the "previous branch" by looking at what the previous branch for the first individual file in the PatchSet was, which fails because in this case, PatchSet 372 was changing "syslinux.doc", and Patchset 374 was changing "syslinux.c", and thus the previous version of the individual _files_ were both in the HEAD branch. So it does look like I should just ignore the "Ancestor branch" information if the new branch already existed. Of course, some semantics will never be translatable when trying to treat CVS as a sane system (ie treating CVS as if it was changeset-based is always going to cause strange corner cases since it really is file-based), but that should most likely give the best approximation of what a conversion should do.
