The CVS respository only keeps the sources.  So you want to download
the *.texi files from the man subdir and convert them into info

Maybe it is easiest to just fetch everything, then the usual
./configure; make; make install dance will do the right thing.  (But
read the INSTALL-CVS or README-CVS file for more information.)
