No auditing is not required at all..

At least on Windows you can switch it on and off at will via the
control panel and I suspect the same is true in Linux even though
there is no Control Panel application to help out.

In fact you CANNOT run a cvs init on a repository that has already
been initialized. I have asked about a command to in a friendly way
add the new admin files to a repository CVSROOT when I have done a
server update. But so far the only advice is to init a dummy repo
after the server update and then copy all of the files from that
CVSROOT on top of the old CVSROOT while making sure to *NOT OVERWRITE*
existing files by the same name!
