Yes, it's command line, plain cvs, ver.1.12.9-13 from Debian.
I don't even have any interfaces/tools to it installed.

Certainly it's not the case, because it was a check-out
into newly created, empty directory and after the checkout:
a) almost all files in www/ have 'r--r--r--'
b) BUT: www/gnuflashes.include has 'rw-rw-rw-'
c) AND almost all files in subdirectories (checked out
   via separate commands) have also 'rw-rw-rw-'
Umask was '000' all that time (and still is).
