Re: CVS maintainance

Well, this went better than expected. Updates are now finished.

All cvs commands presupposes:

   export CVSROOT=":pserver:[email protected]:/cvs"
   cvs login

To check out latest (developmental) cvs code of mod_survey:

   cvs checkout mod_survey

To check out the 3.2.0 release:

   cvs checkout -r rel-3-2-0 mod_survey

To check out the 3.2.0 release from the old tree (something I don't really 
see the point of) :

   cvs checkout -r rel-320 mod_survey_old

To check out the latest 3.0.x code:

   cvs checkout -r rel-30x-stable mod_survey_old

To check out the latest 3.1.x code (which is pointless too) :

   cvs checkout mod_survey_old

So the new CVS setup is now ready to use.

IMPORTANT: If you have an existing checkout of the cvs tree, DO NOT 
attempt to do a "cvs update". You should instead delete the tree and then 
do a "cvs checkout".
