I remember I've seen readable reply messages in the output of
CVSup when something goes wrong on the server side, so they
are displayed in the logs.

Couldn't there just be a dummy CVSup server set up that starts
the initial handshake, and then replies with a failure message
that contains a URL explaining how to migrate to something
else?
