The "r" in "-dr" looks strange. Hm. Oh! It makes the files
read-only. OK.

You don't need to export CVSROOT. After the first "cvs co" you just
go to the "emacs" subdir created and say "cvs update -dP" there and
Bob's your uncle.
Some people have lots of shell aliases which change CVSROOT, but
that's mostly unnecessary! It's only necessary to specify "-d" once
when doing the intial checkout, after that, just change to the right
directory.
