What I'd like to see is the changes from the FreeBSD cvs
tree being updated in my local tree as vendor imports to a vendor
branch. This allows personal development on the head and you can
merge in changes from the vendor as and when you like.

I don't know whether cvsup could do this or not since I've stuck with
ctm up until now but it would be a nice feature that would solve
everyone's problems.
