You're out of luck - Linus doesn't use CVS (at least for the kernel).
Perhaps we can convince Alan to do it for 2.2.x and set a precedent..
The closest we can get otherwise is to get HPA to hook CVS into
kernel.org's release system so that prepatches get added to public CVS
mirrors (cvs.xx.kernel.org?) more or less instantly. Hopefully a tighter
feedback loop (and more uptodate patch) from that might eventually
convince Linus to make live CVS available.
It'd also be nice if we formally adopted a four-digit versioning scheme.
