The user should just create a new copy of the tree
and import the sources as a vendor tag. There is
really no reason to get all of the CVS tree in a
tarball. CVS does branching and merging really.
What would be nice is to get a tarball of the
entire snapshot of the sources on a particular
day, using some mechanism other than CVS, like
a nightly script that tarballed the sources after
doing an update. Or, a web mechanism that sent
you the tarball via email. (for Windows, substitute
zip file for tarball)
