The info pages for cvs do not document the FreeBSD-specific -R option. In fact, the 'Read-only access' node says the only way to get read-only access to a repository using 'cvs' is with the pserver. The man page does document the -R option. Fix: I don't have a patch, but the affected nodes are at least: 'Global options' (under 'CVS commands') 'Invoking CVS' 'Read-only access' (under 'Repository') The first two can just be cut/paste from the man page. The latter may requires a little more. How-To-Repeat: 'info cvs' (or 'M-x info' from emacs) (source in src/contrib/cvs/doc/cvs.texinfo)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->peter Peter is the cvs(1) meister^Wmaintainer.
State Changed From-To: open->closed The manual page documents the -R option now.

The man page has documented -R for quite a while now.
