Put it in the background.  Optionally, you may wish to redirect its
output to a file and use tail -f on that file to see how things are
progressing:

	bash-2.05b$ ( cvsup -g -L 2 -h cvsup.example.net > logfile 2>&1 ) &
	bash-2.05b$ disown %1
	bash-2.05b$ exit

The example shown above works for GNU bash, hence the prompt.  Other
shells have ways of doing the same thing too.
