Read the web pages on cvsup, they're very informative
(http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/howsofast.html) but the
upshot is that it does not replace everything all the time. It only
replaces/updates/deletes what is needed to get things up to date.

Also, check the date/time on your system. It seems to think that you
sent this on the 101st day of February.
