It's only the server that matters, and we've carefully hidden away all unpatched cvs binaries on sourceware. It's probably just a bug - one of these incorrect fileattrs comes up every couple of months. The cvs patch could be rewritten to unlink the fileattr cache if there is a mismatch like this. That wouldn't be appropriate at most sites (some other cvs server-side state can be stored in the fileattr files), but it'd be harmless on sourceware.
