A few possibilities come to mind:

  1) Use a wrapper script that does NOT do .vimrc processing:

     (echo :; echo 'exec vim -u NONE ${1+"$@"}') > $HOME/cvsvim
     chmod +x $HOME/cvsvim
     CVSEDITOR=$HOME/cvsvim; export CVSEDITOR

  2) Do not use VIM at all, use something else instead... one fo the
     following:

     CVSEDITOR=ed; export CVSEDITOR
     CVSEDITOR=ex; export CVSEDITOR
     CVSEDITOR=vi; export CVSEDITOR
     CVSEDITOR=emacs; export CVSEDITOR
     CVSEDITOR=xemacs; export CVSEDITOR

Failing those, you could ask someone on one of the vim mailing lists for
help to fix your vim plugin.

        Good luck,
