You are CVSuping the CVS repository itself and not the sources (which I
assume you want). The *,v files are RCS files; they contain all of the
deltas associated with a particular file along with information on when
they were made.

You want to base your supfile of stable-supfile, not cvs-supfile. Without
a "tag=" you will suck down the CVS repository (or part thereof).
