I've been working with the subversion-based Apache Directory Project, and its Subversion files appear to be more intrusive than that, but maybe it's just an artifact of whatever the heck they think they're doing.
The way to get a copy of the CVS code without the CVS info attached is to use the CVS export command.
Of course, without the CVS info in it, there's no easy way to update CVS against the exported copy, but the purpose of CVS export is to ship stuff out to places that don't want/can't use those CVS files in their copy of the project.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
