FWIW the tests doesn't need/use this (AFAIK).

I investigated that some time ago.

 From conversation with #mercurial at Wed 03 Dec 2008 (slightly edited):
(13:36:56) kiilerix: pmezard: any idea what is going on with the 
failures I get?
(13:38:27) pmezard: i don't know what the 'U' is about, but for the 
missing checkin perhaps the test is running too fast and we are missing 
a sleep between to commit calls
(13:38:37) pmezard: cvs may not see that a changed
(13:39:56) kiilerix: I thought cvs always checked file content?
(13:40:31) kiilerix: btw, the other cvs tests also fail with some extra "U"s
(13:41:02) pmezard: perhaps that's something new in your cvs version or 
a configuration option we do not overwrite
(13:42:39) kiilerix: pmezard: it is cvs-1.11.23-2.fc10.i386 and 
cvsps-2.2-0.1.b1.fc10.i386 - should I try to downgrade? any recommended 
versions?
(13:43:47) pmezard: I have 1.11.20 on mac.
(13:44:02) pmezard: if we can link it to a cvs version then we can fix 
the test
(13:44:23) pmezard: and cvsps is mostly optional now except for one test
(13:45:55) kiilerix: 1.11.20 is very old
(13:48:18) pmezard: osx 10.4 is old too
(13:48:59) kiilerix: ;-)
(13:49:27) pmezard: i have 1.11.22 in cygwin, will see if i can upgrade
(13:51:06) kiilerix: pmezard: with 1.11.22 (+ Fedora patches) it works 
fine - also without U problems
(13:51:09) pmezard: kiilerix: nothing in cygwin
(13:51:23) kiilerix: so seems to be caused by 1.11.23
(13:51:32) pmezard: kiilerix: ok, then a patch is welcome

- and then nothing happened :-(

As a workaround you could make sure the cvs binary isn't available when 
the tests are run. But I don't know if that is possible in the Fedora 
build mocks ... Alternatively just remove the x bit before running the 
test suite.

I can't reproduce that, neither on F10 nor F11. But I think I have seen 
it before. I'm on i386 - perhaps it is 64-bit related?

You might want to install some of these other VCSs to get them tested too.
