It's really pretty silly to have tar.gz files in the CVS tree. I can
imagine what the underlying diff looks like every time they are updated
:-(. And, since they are ultimately just derived files, I agree with
Peter that they shouldn't be in CVS at all.

They should, however, be in release tarballs.

Doesn't matter a whole lot; you can untar them yourself if you want
to do that.
