Hrm. I don't have cvs installed, and those tests are properly skipped
for me. That's because they include lib-cvs.sh, which has:
if ! type cvs >/dev/null 2>&1
then
skip_all='skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found'
test_done
fi
Why doesn't that work for you? Does the "type" check not work (e.g., you
have something called "cvs" but it does not behave as we expect)? If so,
then it sounds like we just need to harmonize that with the other
checks.
It also sounds like the t9400 tests could be using lib-cvs to avoid
duplicating logic, though it might need some refactoring (they don't
need cvsps, for example).
