cvs 1.12.10 allows each part of the %{sVv} format to each be given as a
separate argument.

https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.12.10/cvs_18.html#SEC184
UseNewInfoFmtStrings=yes 

Use the command-line arguments to determine the directory with %p
and the filename with %s as separate arguments to your scripts.

        Good luck,
