The problem is the file CVSROOT/nocommits.sh, which is used as a
safeguard in the FreeBSD tree.  I replace the file every time I run
cvsup with the following version:

<nocommits.sh>
#! /bin/sh
# $FreeBSD$
#
# This is just some basic anti-foot-shooting to avoid accidental commits
# to cvsup'ed copies of the repository etc.
OKUSER="simonln"
if [ "x`/usr/bin/id -un`" = "x${OKUSER}" ]; then
  exit 0
fi
echo "I should only commit as ${OKUSER}!"
exit 1
</nocommits.sh>

You could just make a simple script which call 'exit 0' (or perhaps
remove the file; I haven't tried that), but the above version fits
better into my rather odd setup :-).

I have started some work on documenting the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM use,
but unfortunatly there are only 24 hours in a day, so I have no idea
when I will get around to finishing it.
