Not really possible, without CVSup coming onto a vendor branch instead
of verbatim copying of the repository.

Incoherent:

	,-------.		,-------.
	| Main  |---- cvsup --->| Cache |
	| Repo  |		| Repo  |
	`-------'		`-------'
	    ^			    |
	    |			 cvs co
	 cvs ci			    |
	    |			    V
	    |			,-------.
	    |			| Work  |
	    `-------------------| Copy  |
				`-------'
Coherent:

	,-------.				,-------.
	| Main  |------------ cvsup ----------->| Cache |
	| Repo  |				| Repo  |
	`-------'			      /	`-------'
	    ^				    /   (Vendor Branch)
	    |			 (HEAD)	  /
	    |			,-------.
	 cvs ci --------------->| Cache |
	    ^			| Repo  |
	    |			`-------'
	    |			    |
	    |			 cvs co
	    |			    |
	    |			    V
	    |			,-------.
	    |			| Work  |
	    `-------------------| Copy  |
				`-------'

This also happens to solve the "I do all my developement work for
my company using -STABLE" problem...
