    It's probably easier and safer for you to cvsup than to apply the
    patch manually.

    The sources are in contrib, but the build infrastructure is in gnu.
    Building and installing from /usr/src/contrib/cvs instead of
    /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs will *not* produce the correct results.

    Argh! I forgot to make sure the patch was relative to /usr/src. I'll
    upload a new patch (attached) ASAP.
