If you want to update part (or all) of our CVS repository from the
mainline Athena tree, here is how to go about it:

	* Use "cvs export" to get a copy of the relevant part of the
	  Athena source tree.

		(Caveat: do this to local disk, or do it on a BSDish
		machine.  Due to bugs in AFS errno handling, "cvs
		export" doesn't work properly into AFS space on System
		Vish machines.)

	* Use "cvs import" to import it into our tree.  Use a vendor
	  tag of "mit" and a release tag of "snap-YEAR_MONTH_DAY".

Since the devil is in the details, here is an example of what Nathan
might have done for xmh:

	setenv CVSROOT /afs/dev.mit.edu/source/repository
	cd /var/tmp
	cvs -u export -d xmh -D now third/xmh
	cd xmh
	setenv CVSROOT /afs/dev.mit.edu/project/sipb/repository
	cvs import -m "12/13/97 Athena snapshot, with strerror fixes" \
		third/xmh mit snap-97_12_13
