In the "common/cvs-en.xml" updates that I've recently made, I chose
to use something like this:

	$ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
	$ export CVSROOT=':ext:<username>@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs'
	$ cvs import <my-doc-name> <username> "initial"

as the suggested initial command sequence.  The "vendor" is not
really that important when it comes to branching, et. al., because we
should really use explicit "cvs -t foo" to mark each release point
for the document and then use "foo" as the branching/merging point.
