By the way, are there any funky issues with intermixing
of checked out directories from different repositories 
in the same directory tree?

E.g. 

I will, after checking out elsewhere and moving,
have ~glew/.cshrc, ~glew/bin/bp, ~glew/.emacs,
~glew/lib/gnu-emacs/foo.el... all checked out 
from ~glew/cvsroot  (actually, from /afs/.../glew/cvsroot),

while ~glew/work/dfa_app will be checked out from
a different project repository, /afs/.../proj/perf/dfa_app

E.g.  I have already learned that it is not a good idea
to have the cvs co flag that creates a CVS directory in the
parent of the directory that holds your workspace.

(Unfortunately, I can't remember what/where
that flag is/was, to remove it.)
