You checkout the stable branch from cvs. You then add all the files into 
mtn and commit. Then you checkout the development branch from CVS (into 
the same directory!) add all changed files, drop all removed files, and 
commit into a development branch.

Then you got
* stable
|\
| \
|  * development
|  |
|  | continue to work on development
|  .
| continue to work on stable
.

and at some later point
.
|
*  .
 \ |
  \|
   * can merge from stable into development

I agree with your coworker as well. If the import didn't work, and you 
don't know it didn't, then the whole 1+ GB of archive may be essentially 
useless.
