    Well, looking at my 4.2.5/functions/Completion/Unix/_cvs
    I see that _arguments dispatches to _cvs_roots for the -d argument.
    The only obvious customization mechanisms I see there are the
    $CVS_PASSFILE variable or complete redefinition.

    (( $+functions[_cvs_root] )) ||
    _cvs_root() {
      local cvspassfile id slash
      
      typeset -gU _cvs_roots
      
      if [[ -f "${cvspassfile::=${CVS_PASSFILE:-$HOME/.cvspass}}" ]]; then
        if _cvs_loadstat; then
          id="$(LC_ALL=C builtin stat -g +mtime -F '%Y/%m/%d-%T' "$cvspassfile")"
        else
          id="$(LC_ALL=C ls -l "$cvspassfile")"
        fi
        if [[ "$id" != "$_cvs_pass_id" ]]; then
          slash=/
          _cvs_roots=($_cvs_roots ${${${${(f)"$(<$cvspassfile)"}#/1 }%% *}/:2401${slash}/:/})
          _cvs_pass_id="$id"
        fi
      fi
      
      _tags files && {
        compadd -M 'r:|[:@./]=** r:|=**' "$@" -a _cvs_roots || {
          compset -P ':(local|fork):'; _files "$@" -W / -/
        }
      }
    }
