That sounds like much more hassle than doing it the Proper Way(tm) and
using CVSup to mirror the repository/bits of the repository you want, but
I've never even considered your method. I doubt it's suitable for the
average CVS newbie, though.

I just mirror the repo on a 28.8k modem (yes, they *do* still exist), but
then I suppose it's overkill if all you want is one release.
