Some people like me use cvs-import.sh to upload new versions in a
controlled manner :

1. cvs co + make srpm to get the current package state
2. expand the srpm in a clean root, modify it
3. rpmbuild -bs --nodeps
4. mock the result
5. test
6. cvs-import the mock-produced srpm changeset

And yes that's not how everyone works but not having to interact directly
with cvs (appart from the initial co) keeps me semi-sane.
