True. This definitely must be taken into consideration.

Also a good point.

OK, but where in the sandbox are you going to store this? As I pointed 
out before, a Checkout is usually performed from the parent folder of 
the actually checked out folder, which usually also is _outside_ the 
sandbox, i.e. in a folder that does not even have a CVS subdirectory.
