Ah, I see.. No this won't work... CVS will look for a directory called CVS, and if it finds it it will use the contents of CVS/root
to do the checkout - so it will still be anonymous@blah.  It's actually a "feature" to stop you accidently mixing the contents of
two different CVS stores.


You check out plib into CVS-devel/plib with your plib user id.
You change CVSROOT and then check out, say, Mesa into CVS-devel/mesa3d
You go back to CVS-devel/plib and type cvs update.

If it didn't use CVS/root as your CVSROOT it would attempt to update from the mesa cvs store.

You'll have to check the whole of plib out as markus5 and then the commits will work.
