For a quick overview here's what I could dig up after you
implanted the feeling in me that "FreeBSD's CVS is somewhat
different from the standard CVS":
There's a file /usr/src/contrib/cvs/FREEBSD-upgrade (if only I
had the bookmark around with the web frontend to the FreeBSD
source repo -- I can provide it on Tuesday) with the most
important section for you at its end:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
...
Current local changes:
- CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM environment variable support for choosing the
magic branch number. (for CVSup local-commit support)
- CVSREADONLYFS environment variable and global option -R to enable
no-locking readonly mode (eg: cvs repo is a cdrom or mirror)
- the verify message script can edit the submitted log message.
- if pserver username is "anoncvs", implicitly use a password of "anoncvs".
- CVSROOT/options file
- Variable keyword expansion controls including custom keywords.
- $ CVSHeader$ keyword - like Header, but with $CVSROOT stripped off.

I copied your request for feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] who seems
to maintain the cvs contrib package.
FYI: FreeBSD's -STABLE branch comes with cvs 1.10.7, -CURRENT
has imported 1.11 lately.
