How to script extraction of a single file?

[Bryce Nesbitt (spam account)]

I'm writing a script to process a file stored in CVS, and have ran into 
something awkward.  All I want to do is extract a read-only copy of a 
file stored in cvs.  But:

/usr/bin/cvs -lf -Qd /tmp/cvsroot_test co -r1.2 module/file.zip
Requires write access to the repository.
/usr/bin/cvs -lf -Qd /tmp/cvsroot_test export -r1.2 module/file.zip
Requires a symbolic tag, not a revision number.
/usr/bin/cvs -lf -Qd /tmp/cvsroot_test co -p -r1.2 module/file.zip
Is slow because of the pipe.


Is there an easy way to just extract a single file from a cvs 
repository, without the hassles described above?
