FC5 test1 relnotes for translation

You need not muck with $CVSROOT for a one-time checkout.  Assuming
that $CVS_RSH is set to:

	$ export CVS_RSH=ssh

you can first do:

	$ cvs -d :ext:username at cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs co \
		-r FC-5-TEST1-TRANS-FREEZE -d release-notes-FC5test1 \
		release_notes
	$ cd release-notes-FC5test1

and then

	$ cvs update

--or--

	$ cvs commit

to your heart's content needing neither "$CVSROOT" nor "-d $CVSROOT"
again, as long as your $PWD is "release-notes-FC5test1" or deeper.

I use a small shell script, "cvs-fdp":

==CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT==
#!/bin/sh
CVS_RSH=ssh export CVS_RSH
exec cvs -d :ext:username at cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs $@
==CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT===CUT==

and then use it like this:

	$ cvs-fdp co -d release-notes-FC5test1 release_notes -r \
		FC-5-TEST1-TRANS_FREESZE

I use this technique for every CVS repository I deal with.  Goodbye
$CVSROOT, you are evil!

Cheers
