Is this really a problem in practice? I honestly do not care what is or has 
been in cvs between actual releases. The srpm has all the files that are part 
of a build. I never use cvs to research a problem.

Or by embedding a sources file in the srpm that cross references all cvs 
versions of all files used in the build attempt. Doing it this way wouldn't 
have required disrupting the workflow.
