hmm.. I create a new Client for every command (I do that primarily because a new pserver connection 
should be created for each command.. theoretically it's not necessary, however I believe some people 
reported problems with such approach.. cvs is not ready for that.)

However I'm not sure I know the answer to your questions, looking at the sources is the safest way...

do a checkout of the javacvs module on the netbeans's cvs server.
the library resides in the javacvs/libsrc using the -r release33 branch tag, you'll get the sources 
for 3.3.2 version (which almost or entirely matches the 3.3.1 sources..not sure here)
some sources are available on the project's web page under "Files" category.
