I checked in some hacks to handle all the obvious problems. I think they are mostly due to dodgy ?roff usage in cvs.1, but standalone man handles them ok. OT: woman still does not render the cvs manpage as nicely as man does, IMO. This is due to the different ways the two programs handle the IP request. man seems to indent and fill every line of the paragraph; woman treats the first line specially (no indent, no fill). It's possible this is what one is supposed to do, but it makes the man page look worse. Again, maybe this is due to bad ?roff usage in cvs.1. Anyway, now is definitely not the time to change this.
