There is one instance where modifying the CVS/Root files is manditory.
I have used the technique described in the section with the title
"Multiple repositories" to merge in local modifications to my copy of
pkgsrc and src.  Some time ago, I wrote a script function which
actually scans for the CVS/Root files, verifies their original
contents, and then updates it to the desired repository.  This script
is essentially

    find . -type f -print | grep CVS/Root | xargs grep -l ${OLD_CVSROOT} | while read f
    do
        echo ${CVSROOT} > ${f}
    done

Works great, and is less filling. ;)
