I added a few scripts written on top of parsecvs to the distribution of parsecvs, which I have been using extensively to convert my RCS histories to Git (no CVS, just plain RCS that I used to control files lying side-byside in a directory).

My use cases are:

parsecvs-as-sidehist
don't touch the current master branch; useful in case you have already something in .git/;
parseRCS-indep
put each RCS/* into Git as an independent branch (or--to be more precise-- set of branches); then you can merge their heads if you wish, or pick something in a more compex way;
parseRCS-merging-init
like parseRCS-indep, but also merges the hisory roots of the independent files; useful if you need to have the complete set of files as the base for your history.

My git-shortcuts are required for these my extensions.
