try this in bash
for file in *.cvs ; do echo mv $file `basename $file .cvs`.txt ; done

if the commands print out correctly, remove the echo

I never use while loops in sh (or bash), but I see nothing that changes your filename, so I don't see where your loop would exit.

cvs-debi

CVS-DEBI(1)						      General Commands Manual						       CVS-DEBI(1)

NAME

       cvs-debi - install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

SYNOPSIS

       cvs-debi [options] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       cvs-debi  is  run  from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild.  It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
       .changes file generated in that run.  It then runs debpkg -i on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file to  install  them,  assuming
       that  all of the .deb archives live in the same directory as the .changes file.	Note that you probably don't want to run this program on a
       .changes file relating to a different architecture after cross-compiling the package!

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be installed.

       Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as  the
       last command-line parameter.

       Since  installing  a package requires root privileges, debi calls debpkg rather than dpkg directly.  Thus debi will only be useful if it is
       either being run as root or debpkg can be run as root.  See debpkg(1) for more details.

OPTIONS

       All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect.  For more details  on  all
       of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.

       -adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
	      See  dpkg-architecture(1)  for  a description of these options.  They affect the search for the .changes file.  They are provided to
	      mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.

       -Mmodule
	      The name of the CVS module.

       -Ppackage
	      The name of the package.

       -Vversion
	      The version number of the package.

       -Ttag  The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.

       -Rroot directory
	      Root of the original sources archive.

       -Wwork directory
	      The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

       -xprefix
	      This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       --help, --version
	      Show help message and version information respectively.

       cvs-buildpackage(1), cvs-debc(1) cvs-debuild(1) and debi(1).

AUTHOR

       cvs-buildpackage was written by Manoj Srivastava, and the current version of debi was written by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>.  They have
       been combined into this program by Julian Gilbey.
