Uhm - I can't see why the method you describe is easier.  I do an
explict alias so I know which repo I'm working against - no typos, no
problems because different directions updates (CVS/Root is just
ignored, as the root is specified on the command line), less to type.

I really can't see the 'easier ways' part - is there something I'm
missing, or something you're missing, or are we just disagreeing on
what is easy here?


Also: I've got 8 different CVS-repositories (including local copies) I
work against for different organizations, so I might be a special case
when it comes to what I need to have control over.  The typing issue
isn't that large :-)
