It's in the nature of cvs-import.sh automation. The script creates a fresh
working-copy by checking out the current package. Then it assumes that the
files you want it to import are modifications of the working-copy
(removing lines is a valid operation, too). It cannot compare any
revisions of the files, because you only provide your changes in a
src.rpm.

Better is to not use cvs-import.sh for _updates_. Modify files in your cvs
working-copy of the package. Plain cvs commit will compare revisions, warn
about out-of-date working-copies, and try to _merge_ additions instead of
overwriting/reverting newer revisions in cvs.
