The most reasonable way would be to change the state machine to
recognize 28 dashes in a changelog. Unfortunately even this will fail if
you put a revision 1.x line directly after this. You might even detect
this because a correct date/author line has a different internal
protocol structure but because it is no fun I did not implement it
without need. I'll commit a small change which should fix your problem.

Do you know about the new cvs_takeover feature? You can import a CVS
working directory, change it, commit into monotone and push your changes
 into CVS lateron (no connection to the server required).
