So I have figured out the reason it goes out of sync. CVS doesn't seem
to always report status in the order you give it on the command line
(which is rather crucial to the functioning of the script).

e.g. cvs status path/to/filea path/to/filev path/to/filec can return the
status in order 

fileb
filea
filec

It looks like running a single CVS query for each file is the only
solution.
