It seems like git-cvsserver doesn't know the CVS special case that, if the client has removed the file from the working directory (but not called "cvs remove"), this means to revert it to the server's version. I think that the condition around line 843 needs to exclude this case, and it needs to get to line 892 instead, but I can't even fake perl to fix it.
