If you want to take a kernel tree from kernel.org and add just xfs to it then
take the patch without cvs in it's name. If you want to start following the
cvs tree instead of just using patches, then take the cvs patch. It is a
super set of the other one, the additional content is all the cvs files
you would get in a tree to allow you to download the cvs development version
of xfs as it progresses.
