:local: isn't a protocol... it's just shorthand for a direct reference to the repository.  Without
a protocol DLL there's nowhere for 'cvs info' to get its data from
(plus for :local: all the fields would be 'No' anyway, so it wouldn't
yield any useful data).

I'll look at it but it doesn't sound like it makes much sense to be
there...
