The RHEL4 sources

  
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/os/SRPMS/cvs-1.11.17-9.RHEL4.src.rpm

seem to have a lot of individual patches as well as the canonical
cvs-1.11.17.tar.bz2 sources:

    cvs-1.11.17-CAN-2005-0753.patch
    cvs-1.11.17-cvspass.patch
    cvs-1.11.17-extzlib2.patch
    cvs-1.11.17-repo.patch
    cvs-1.11.17-sccs2rcs.patch
    cvs-1.11.17.tar.bz2
    cvs-1.11.17.tar.bz2.sig
    cvs-1.11.19-tmp.patch
    cvs-1.11.1p1-bs.patch
    cvs-1.11.2-abortabort.patch
    cvs-1.11.2-netbsd-tag.patch
    cvs-1.11.5-extzlib.patch

You should take care that you do not depend on any of the patched
behaviors before going to the vanilla CVS source distribution.

rpmfind.net is a fairly good place to start looking for such things.
