I use git alone (in particular "git rebase -i").

I write the CL entry in the revision history only until the time when
I push the change to CVS. That's when I edit the commit again (using
"git rebase -i"), adding the ChangeLog entries.  I do it at the very
last second, because otherwise you have a higher chance of having
a conflict when you export to CVS.

Note also a super-useful command: git cvsexportcommit.  It automates
the pushing of a given patch to CVS.
