+ If you specify <option>repository</> instead of <option>pgsql</>
+ in the above setup, you will get a complete copy of the entire
+ repository at cvsup.postgresql.org, including its
+ <filename>CVSROOT</filename> directory. If you do that, you will
+ probably want to exclude those files in that directory that you
+ want to modify locally, using a refuse file. For example, for the
+ above setup you might put this in

+CVSROOT/config*
+CVSROOT/commitinfo*
+CVSROOT/loginfo*
