In general, cvsup10 (and presumably 18?) carry only a small subset of Perforce 
-- they explicitly export certain branches.  In the past, the CVS exporter has 
proven a bit unreliable in the context of TrustedBSD -- it occasionally breaks 
when it finds something it doesn't like, require administrator fixing, etc.
