cvs checkout project
cd project

#IIRC '.' cant be used in tag names.

I highly suggest grabbing a copy of
http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/stable/1.11.23/cederqvist-1.11.23.html.tar.bz2
or
http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source/feature/1.12.13/cederqvist-1.12.13.html.tar.bz2
as appropriate for the version you are using, to keep in your bookshelf.
