cvsup with tag=. on src and upgrading (in general)

[horio shoichi]

You seem to want to cvsup in cvs mode, but not in checkout mode, in man cvsup terminology.

If my guess is correct, remove "tag=." reference, and don't add "date=". No tag, no date
is the default cvs mode. You wil get the cvs repository.
