[Trevor Woerner]

I apologize if I'm pointing out the obvious and/or something you've
already tried.

According to the bitbake documentation, if you specify a revision of
"now" will cause a fresh checkout on every build. Is that the same as
the "AUTOREV method"?

poky/bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/cvs.py:

    def need_update(self, url, ud, d):
        if (ud.date == "now"):
            return True
        if not os.path.exists(ud.localpath):
            return True
        return False
