One thing you may want to address, is that the cvswrappers file which
Apple provides uses options (-f and -t) that are no longer supported in
newer versions of cvs. I encountered this after I enabled the
cvswrappers while trying to connect to someone else's repository. Now I
have to remember to turn it on and off for different cvs accesses.
In particular, sourceforge does not support wrappers.
Has anyone else encountered this? I've probably screwed up my own cvs
repository by now by having the wrappers active inconsistently.
That is correct. cvswrappers are no longer supported in the latest
releases of CVS. In general, cvswrappers are broken and should be
avoided as they are not necessary.
In general, CVS sucks. Use Subversion. It doesn't suck. If you have
to use CVS, don't use wrappers as they will only cause problems. For
example, changing what file types are/aren't wrapped after already
committing files of that type will hose your repository.

If you do end up with a wrapped repository, you'll need to move
~/.cvswrappers in/out of the way depending on which repository you are
accessing.
