'cvs annotate'
...and, of course, http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/, which re-unifies CVS
changesets quite reliably. http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/ also does so
(note that it can be used for conversion to git as well as to svn,
despite its name -- really, it's mainly a CVS changeset re-unifier, and
only secondarily a converter). These tools are fairly widely used.

By doing so, you are tossing away information that *can* be
reconstructed (as per above).
When we convert to a modern version control system, other people's
multi-file changes will be unified back into single changesets, but
yours will not be, if you commit in the way you describe above.
