Yes it works, and cvsimport -k will do the right thing for you.

We are tracking projects with several binary files. The only issue as
you note is that trading patches with git-format-patch and git-am
doesn't quite deal with it. But you can still do it across different
git heads with git-read-tree -m as long as your binary file merges are
truly trivial.
