This is not what I get:
rochebonne:/tmp>acvs co src
cvs server: Updating src
U src/BUILDING
U src/BUILDING.mdoc
U src/Makefile
U src/Makefile.inc
U src/UPDATING
U src/build.sh
cvs server: Updating src/bin
U src/bin/Makefile
U src/bin/Makefile.inc
cvs server: Updating src/bin/cat
U src/bin/cat/Makefile
[...]

and sys comes last in my case.

I guess it depends on the anoncvs server.
