Follow-up Comment #1:

The command

  cvs <command> --help

is not a legal command.

The commands:

  cvs --help

and

  cvs -H <command>

will do what you suggest.

The only reason you get any output at all from 'cvs <command> --help' is
that you are also getting a '<command>: invalid option -- -' output at
the top before it trys to tell you what options you might have mistyped.
To do that, you must first have been able to properly process the global
options needed for <command> to work properly.
