Before you work on a project under revision control, you must check out a working copy.
Repository. The name of the CVS repository, also known as $CVSROOT. If the repository is remote, make sure that authentication works, see Section 1.1.
Module. The name of the module to be checked out. If you are working with an existing repository, you have probably got this name from the administrator. Alternatively, if the repository has a $CVSROOT/modules file, you can retrieve a list of available modules by clicking on the Fetch list button.
Working directory. The directory under which the module should be checked out. Note that the toplevel directory of the working copy is always created as a directory with the name as the module under the directory given here.
