Sorry, I was confused -- with cvsps, -capital-Z says to compress.

Ideally, I'd prefer to recycle standard CVS options as much as possible, but given that the confusion is already there (worse: cvs' -z wants an argument (compression level), cvsps' -Z doesn't) that may not actually make sense. *Shrug*

I'm too happy when other people improve my tools to get hung up on details like that. ;-)
