The problem is that you aren't just transferring bits from the HEAD, but
from multiple active branches. As John already stated, CVS doesn't
handle multiple 'vendor' branches well (and in this case, the FreeBSD
tree has vendor (CSRG) branches, FreeBSD vendor branches (RELENG_2,
RELENG_3, ..., contrib vendor branches (TCSH, GCC, etc..)
CVS is simply not setup to do what you ask. :(
