The best thing to do is to have a local copy of the entire repository, synced via cvsup. If you have multiple machines, you can even run a cvsup server on one of them, and sync them all from that. On older hardware that lacks sufficient disk space for the entire repo, I use anoncvs, but that's much more annoying. You need to hack up CVS/Entries manually to add and delete files, for instance.
