If you want access to all releases, or even to just two, you're
best off CVSupping the CVS repository.  In a nutshell, you omit the
"tag" and "date" statements in the cvsupfile, and point "prefix"
to someplace like "/home/ncvs" -- NOT to your actual source tree.
For more information, RTFM cvsup(1), look at the examples in
"/usr/share/examples/cvsup/", and read the CVSup FAQ, which is at
<http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/>.

And then learn how to use CVS.
