the stuff that's being sucked down in /home/ncvs is the CVS repository
the files actually contain every single change made to each file in
a delta format.

when you do a "cvs -d /home/ncvs co src" it will get the most recent
version of each file and put it into $CWD/src.

you really need to look at the cvs manpages and the CVS/CVSup sections
on www.freebsd.org
