	Let me quote another section from that same document:

| To just update the 1.5 release source tree if you already got one:
|
| % setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
| % cd /usr
| % cvs login
| password: anoncvs
| % cvs -d $CVSROOT update -rnetbsd-1-5 -PAd src
|
|
| Or by ssh:
|
| % setenv CVS_RSH ssh
| % setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot
| % cd /usr
| % cvs -d $CVSROOT update -rnetbsd-1-5 -PAd src
|
|
| To update the 1.5 current source tree, omit the "-rnetbsd-1-5" To
| update the 1.4 release source tree, use "-rnetbsd-1-4"


	Now, if you want to tell me that the documentation is wrong, 
that's fine.  However, this is an exceptionally exasperating position 
to find myself in after all this time, and I would really, really 
appreciate it if someone would update the documentation so that it 
was correct.
