I've modified the subject on your question, as I suspect this is
not really an issue of "cvs" per se.  It's really a question on
how softupdates moved into the standard system.  This has worked
for me on 4.x-stable, but maybe something isn't quite right for
people trying to do this with 3.x-stable.

My hope is that someone who knows more about softupdates will
see this subject and give you an actually useful reply  :-)
