Perhaps two hours ago I updated my working copy, and it still
happens.  I proceeded as follows:

    cvs update -dP
    ./kai.sh make
    ./kai.sh install
    emacs -Q
    M-x cvs-update RET ~/work/gnu/emacs RET
    ;; Hit = on the lisp/net/tramp.el line.
    ;; Go to the *cvs-diff* buffer/window and navigate to the + line.
    C-x 4 a
    ;; Minibuffer shows: Use file tramp.el: ~/work/gnu/emacs/tramp.el

Here is the *cvs* buffer after M-x cvs-update RET:

    Repository : address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs
    Module     : emacs

And here is the *cvs-diff* buffer for tramp.el:

All of this was done on a FreeBSD 5.3 beta machine, though I'm now
posting from Debian GNU/Linux.

Does this provide the detail you need?

This was the first time ever I used "emacs -Q", I vaguely remember
that it is something like "emacs -q -no-site-file", only more so.

PS: You are probably wondering about my kai.sh script for building
    Emacs.  It is not very sophisticated, but just so that you know
    what I've been doing, I'll include it here:
