 2.5 Multiple repositories
 =========================
 
 In some situations it is a good idea to have more than one repository,
 for instance if you have two development groups that work on separate
 projects without sharing any code.  All you have to do to have several
 repositories is to specify the appropriate repository, using the
 `CVSROOT' environment variable, the `-d' option to CVS, or (once you
 have checked out a working directory) by simply allowing CVS to use the
 repository that was used to check out the working directory (
 Specifying a repository).
 
    The big advantage of having multiple repositories is that they can
 reside on different servers.  With CVS version 1.10, a single command
 cannot recurse into directories from different repositories.  With
 development versions of CVS, you can check out code from multiple
 servers into your working directory.  CVS will recurse and handle all
 the details of making connections to as many server machines as
 necessary to perform the requested command.  Here is an example of how
 to set up a working directory:
 
      cvs -d server1:/cvs co dir1
      cd dir1
      cvs -d server2:/root co sdir
      cvs update
 
    The `cvs co' commands set up the working directory, and then the
 `cvs update' command will contact server2, to update the dir1/sdir
 subdirectory, and server1, to update everything else.
