It's probably easier and safer for you to cvsup than to apply the

The sources are in contrib, but the build infrastructure is in gnu.
Building and installing from /usr/src/contrib/cvs instead of
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs will *not* produce the correct results.

Argh!  I forgot to make sure the patch was relative to /usr/src.  I'll
upload a new patch (attached) ASAP.
