 Yes, that was why I wrote
   I talked to the author of Csup last year but failed to convince him to
   change the behavior.  I also asked the author of CVSup about this issue
   but received no replies yet.
 
 Most *BSD users are not affected by this behavior, as long as they use
 the cvs command in the base installation, since it's most likely
 cvs-1.11.x with some local modifications and/or backported fixes.

 Yes, that's HEAD and there's no difference between RELENG_6 either.
 
 Cheers.
