The script was only meant as an example.  You would need to use something 
similar, but not identical.  I split the one line with a \ line continuation 
character, but in my script that I run it's all one line, without the \.

All you need to do is to get a good checkout once, then cd to wherever that 
checkout is and run 'cvs update -d -P' (you can use the compression settings 
too -- 'cvs -z3 update -d -P' is one option).  My script handles a bunch of 
CVS trees that I have, not just bibletime.  I keep PostgreSQL, JACK, VNC, 
ALSA, BibleTime, Sword, OpenACS/dotLRN, AOLserver, etc updated since I do 
some development with each.  The OpenACS/dotLRN trees are the largest, with a 
couple of dozen directories under 'openacs4'.  Much easier to run a single 
command than to cd into each dir and cvs update.
