I'll remove it from this default in run_build.pl:

my $cvsserver = $PGBuild::conf{cvsrepo} ||
":pserver:anoncvs\(at)anoncvs(dot)postgresql(dot)org:2401/projects/cvsroot";

I do strongly recommend using your own local repo via CVSup if possible,
though. It was a pain for an hour or two while I set it up but that's
been repaid many times over.
