Need to specify -d :pserver:username@hydra.gat.com:/c/efit/CVS as repository for all cvs commands, eg
     cvs -d :pserver:username@hydra.gat.com:/c/efit/CVS checkout

   • cvs checkout efitcore efitbuild efitex
   • cd efitbuild

     updates the working directory recursively with any change made to the repository by others
5. Check codes back in
   • cvs commit [options] [files...]
     • cvs commit
       check all files being changed back into the repository. this is done recursively.
     • options
     • -r revision - specify a new revision number, e.g. -r 3.0
     • -m message - use message as log message, instead of invoking an editor
