The following are part of every known implementation of the CVS protocol and it is considered reasonable behavior to completely fail to work if you are connected with an implementation which attempts to not support them. Requests: Root, Valid-responses, valid-requests, Repository, Entry, Modified, Argument, Argumentx, ci, co, update. Responses: ok, error, Valid-requests, Checked-in, Updated, Merged, Removed, M, E.
Failure to support the Directory, UseUnchanged, and Unchanged requests is deprecated. CVS 1.5 and later have supported these requests and in the future it will be considered reasonable behavior to completely fail to work with an implementation which attempts to not support them. Support for the Repository and Lost requests is deprecated; CVS clients 1.5 and later will not use them if communicating with a server which supports Directory and UseUnchanged.
