CVS only ever uses 'Exp' and 'dead'.  You can change them with an admin
command IIRC but they're not useful.

There is no code in the RCS part of CVS that deals with states other than
dead/not dead, and all revisions are checked in with state 'Exp'.  Presumably
the -s option was never implemented because it never had a purpose.
