I don't think, but you can use your cvs executable by adding a system property 
on the command line:

mvn -Dmaven.scm.provider.cvs.implementation=cvs_native release:prepare
mvn -Dmaven.scm.provider.cvs.implementation=cvs_native release:perform

I'll try to improve it in the next version.

So is there no way to make the Java client honor exec permissions?  Any 
recommended best practice for a workaround?

Jim,

the new version use a pure java cvs client by default, instead of the system 
cvs executable.

Thanks for the release, Stephane. After I upgraded, however, I noticed the release:perform task no longer honors the executable permission bit set on my some of my files. My SCM is CVS. I looked in Jira but couldn't find a bug for it, though something makes me think it's a known problem with the SCM plugin. Though something else makes me think the previous release plugin version checked the file out correctly, i.e.
with the exec bit set.

Obviously, this problem only applies on *nix systems.
