It might be useful if you pointed out what exactly was missing.

I figure that csup/cvsup isn't updating the local CVS/* files, which isn't
a problem until you switch back to CVS. There you should use with CVS the
update options -dPCA as in "cvs -q -z9 up -dPCA".=20
RTFM in the section "update options" for what each does.

Otherwise I agree that csup/cvsup should be more coherent with CVS.
