This line in the cvsup file changes that behavior (from
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html>):
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
Don't want stuff deleted when cvsup runs (not wise, but you can do it)?,
remove the delete keyword in your cvsup file.
