Umm, this is what the .cvsrc file is for, and is MUCH more flexible..

ie: .cvsrc works for both global options and options for specific cvs

I think this is needless divergence from the main cvs source and should be
backed out, especially since it duplicates existing functionality and reaches
into the source of another package ("../diff").
