Unless I can put `if' statements in there and test for various things
about a host, it isn't suffient.
I do use ~/.cvsrc, but on some hosts I want -R always and others I don't.
If the "CVSREADONLYFS" environmental variable had actually been
*documented* I wouldn't have added this code. By the time I discovered
"CVSREADONLYFS" I was just putting the final touches on the man page.

I disagree. Maybe you don't use NFS mounted home dirs across many
machines where you want different functionality on them, but I do. Plus
``export CVS_OPTIONS="-f"'' has uses.
