John Polstra recently said that sometimes cvsup could delete the local
changes, so he recomened backup of the local tree before each backup.

At least I think the warning should be included in the manual page.

Part of the mail from John Polstra :

> Any advice?

Yes: look for a different approach, or at least backup your local
repository frequently.  There are known bugs in CVSup which can cause
it to throw away your local branch under certain circumstances.  I
won't have time to fix those issues any time soon.  So my advice is,
don't use the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM feature.
