For a local repository, VC does indeed call "cvs status" in
vc-recompute-state, even if vc-cvs-stay-local is t.  This setting only
affects remote repositories.

Function vc-state uses a cached value of the vc-state property (via
vc-file-getprop).  This value gets recomputed in the course of
revert-buffer, which is a sensible thing to do, I would think?
