actually, there is no reason to provide YET ANOTHER (and very incomplete
and curiously wrong (missing the -P flag!)) set of instructions on using
cvs.  The numerous issues with this one tiny section convinced me to just
remove it, point out that you have just a copy of the repository, and
point the user at faq5.html and cvs(1).

Further, you missed the first line of the file...  Right at this moment,
Tobias is probably laughing at me, over how many times *I* missed that
same first line. :)

While in the neighborhood, I noticed that the sizes were horribly out of
date, and the xenocara tree was missing.

Also made similar changes to www/cvsup.html, which is where this was
seemingly copied from.
