Well, despite all that perhaps it's time to read some more related
documentation anyway:  "info cvs".

The exact options and parameters given on the command line greatly
affect what will happen with CVS, and what pre-conditions must exist in
order for some semblance of success to result.

Strictly speaking the documentation is 100% correct as far as I can see,
and it takes into account perhaps the widest possible variety of
scenarios.  It's not exactly the simplest or most obvious way of doing
things though....
