Seems like newer versions of CVS break assumptions made by CVSup on the
ordering of branch revisions:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hubs/2009-August/002083.html

"So, in short I don't see any easy solutions to this, and especially given
the fact that in the long run CVS/CVSup will probably be replaced by
something else for distributing FreeBSD source, I don't think it will be
that easy to find someone to "fix" either CVSup or CVS."
