The following reply was made to PR gnu/42726; it has been noted by GNATS.

That doesn't work at server side (server says 'there is no version here; ...') and it doesn't change anything at client side (still says 'Protocol error...') when using cvs -R. So, thank you, Larry, for your cooperation. Now I see this is FreeBSD-specific problem.
