Yes, the real problem is that the CVS authors messed up this message
pretty badly: it should be sent to the cvs-admin, not the cvs-user.  Or (in
case sending it to the cvs-admin is not possible) it should at least use
a different wording that takes into account the fact that it's talking to
a cvs-user and not a cvs-admin.
I can't help but be reminded of the proverbial "unsubscribe" message sent to
thousands of helpless mailing-list members.
