Do a "cvs export" instead: export Prepare copies of a set of source files for shipment off site. Differs from `cvs checkout' in that no cvs administrative direc- tories are created (and therefore `cvs commit' cannot be exe- cuted from a directory prepared with `cvs export'), and a sym- bolic tag must be specified. (Does not change repository; cre- ates directory similar to working directories). -- -Chuck
