KeyError exceptions importing from CVS

I've worked when this happens. The CVS repository has files checked in 
initially on a branch, so the INITIAL->1.1 is missing from the cvsps output.

Assume you have a CVS directory checked out, then create a file for 
which the initial version is on a branch. Here's a script that will 
create such a file in your cwd:

# we need a existing branch, so create a file and tag it
echo one >file_one
cvs add file_one
cvs ci -m initial file_one
cvs tag -b branch_name file_one

# now make the branch the default for the working directory
cvs update -f -r branch_name

# add a new file, which will be on the branch
echo hello >file_two
cvs add file_two
cvs ci -m "new file on branch" file_two


The output from cvs log file_two:

RCS file: /tmp/repository/Attic/file_two,v
Working file: file_two
head: 1.1
branch:

The output from cvsps -A -u --cvs-direct -q:

When convert/cvs.py tries to add the 1.1->1.1.2.1 patchset it can not 
find 1.1 in the filerevids dictionary and fails with a KeyError, as 
shown before.
