The -t/-f functionality was removed quite some time ago.  If I
recall, it never worked well, and never worked at all
client/server.  If it's even documented, you must be using an
ancient CVS client (presumably the server is more recent, which
is why it fails).

I don't know how to make CVS do what you want.  I imagine people
will jump in and say "that's not CVS's job; do it with your build
system" :-/

Hmm, not sure.  Fix it directly in the repo, I guess.  *shudder*
By which I do NOT mean to edit cvswrappers,v; but rather:
  - fix $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers
  - check out the CVSROOT module
  - fix <sandbox>/cvswrappers
  - commit
 
It'd be nice if CVS were more forgiving (i.e. if it reduced the
error to a warning if it was in an entry that's not triggered by
the current operation).

The acronym for "the powers that be" differs by only one letter
from that for "the pointy-haired boss".
