Yes, it merely means that it doesn't know about a newphrase `commitid'.
Since commitid happens to have nothing to do with checkout mode, it can
be safely ignored.  I'm not 100% sure if *any* newphrase can be ignored,
but I doubt one would want to add a new RCS phrase that requires special
handling to older implementations without breaking compatibility.
When the first time I talked to Maxime in private e-mail about this problem,
he didn't seem to be convinced about ignoring newphrase, but rather cvsup
and/or its protocol should be adjusted to recognize the commitid keyword to
get things done correctly.  He also said he was going to take care about
it after a few more conversations, but I haven't heard from him or seen
a commit since then.

Cheers.
