I have now confirmed that the cvs-1.11.22-diff-rm.patch seems to be 
responsible for the new behaviour.  Removing this patch from the F-8 
version of CVS eliminates the "cvs diff" warnings and restores the 
proper CVSspam content in the email it sends.

I will try to discuss this with the relevant Fedora folk.
