+ If you specify <option>repository</> instead of <option>pgsql</>
+ in the above setup, you will get a complete copy of the entire
+ repository at cvsup.postgresql.org, including its
+ <filename>CVSROOT</filename> directory. If you do that, you will

+CVSROOT/commitinfo*
+CVSROOT/loginfo*
+</programlisting>
