[smc] Wasn't "cvs version" recently introduced precisely so that
you could
see what version of CVS the _remote_ repository was running?
To see what version of CVS you're running locally, use "cvs -V"
This was added to help with debugging why client server connections
might fail, so for example you might be able to tell if the remote
side
of a connection might be running a buggy version of CVS or
something,
especially useful if you have no knowledge of anything about the
remote
side, (e.g. it's anonymous pserver access).
