There is an "Export for CVS commit" export format in l10n_server. If
there is no such option, just update to the latest one, I just
released Alpha 3 which includes other bug fixes as well. That should
generate the exact files as needed for CVS commits.

Hopefully later we would not need CVS at all, but a cronjob will
generate packages out of the drupal.org central l10n_server database.
That's the plan:)
