Are you sure about that?
This is what I did.

# cloned your repo to a local directory (for safety)
cd /tmp
git clone -n git://github.com/huayang/VTK.git

# fetch into the newer VTK repo (http://vtk.org/VTK.git)
cd PATH/ParaView/VTK
git remote add tmp /tmp/VTK
git fetch tmp

If I furthermore check for non-common commits, there are about 32-39
thousand of them.
Eg,
# count non-common commits:
git log tmp/cvshead ^origin/master | grep ^commit | wc -l
git log origin/master ^tmp/cvshead | grep ^commit | wc -l


What me might need is a rebase of your branch onto the last cvshead and
use that as a patch set against the new git repo. Unfortunately, the cvs
bits I had were for ParaView and not VTK, so I can't do this myself.

That's great news!
With polyhedral support, and with this
(http://paraview.uservoice.com/forums/11350-general/suggestions/319562-enable-caching-of-static-meshes-for-transient-data), it will be much faster to use paraview for CFD results.
