No, it's definitely coming from the server. If you look closely you'll
see that the message even says so rather clearly (it is prefixed by
"cvs server:").

AFAIK most of the messages you'll ever see in CVS day-to-day operations
are relayed from the server. There are only very few messages emitted
by the client part of CVS. These would then typically be prefixed by
"cvs commandname:".
 
Hope this helps.
