I agree with Peter too.  It's only a 1MB file with ctm:

-rw-rw-r--   1 bde      users      896758 Jun 19 03:13 cvs-cur.2133.gz

but then ordinary cvs mismanagement gives a 2MB delta:

-rw-r--r--   1 bde      users     1796061 Jun 19 12:16 cvs-cur.2135.gz

and that's presumably just for changing the location of the tarball.
