:This release (1.11.11) has some security fixes, to know:
:
:Stable CVS 1.11.11 has been released. Stable releases contain only bug
:fixes from previous versions of CVS. This release adds code to the CVS
:server to prevent it from continuing as root after a user login, as an
:extra failsafe against a compromise of the CVSROOT/passwd file.
:Previously, any user with the ability to write the CVSROOT/passwd file
:could execute arbitrary code as the root user on systems with CVS
:pserver access enabled. We recommend this upgrade for all CVS servers!

:Don't try to find the Answer where there ain't no Question here...
There are a bunch of FreeBSDisms that you have to commit, like
-g, -R, and -j to cvs diff. And there are a ton more as well.
Actually, it looks like you didn't commit any of the FreeBSD/DFly
stuff! Ouch!
You will have to diff the FreeBSD changes from the FreeBSD source tree
relative to the base dist they were running.
