The NetBSD folks don't allow access to their repository.  Last I heard,
it was both politically and legally a problem to do that, given that
they're tree is (was?) still based on the old 4.4BSD Lite code, which is
arguably 'tainted'.  They've since converted their releases to use
Lite2, but by making their CVS tree public it could cause problems.

I can't speak with any authority though, since I lost access to the
NetBSD CVS tree around version 0.8, which was before FreeBSD 1.0 was
released. :) :) :)
