Both "co" and "up" accept the -kb option.  So just add -kb to these
two commands as described on the savannah page.

No problems at all, except that "cvs up" cannot patch files (because
they are treated as binary), so it downloads the whole files
downstream, which takes longer, especially with large files (such as
ChangeLog).  Unless your connection is slow, this shouldn't matter
much, though.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Patch; as I wrote patching Emacs
works even if you don't checkout with -kb.  (And I think we are way
off topic on this list, anyway.)
