I don't think so, but specifying a command to run does ignore UseLogin (and is documented as such), so you'll get an inconsistent environment because of that when doing cvs over ssh, as opposed to logging in over ssh. All in all, the UseLogin option seems to be not very useful, and poorly implemented. But then, we aren't using OpenSSH-portable (well, not in my source tree, anyway).
