Or, simply only update the ecos/packages directory. Unless you are
building documentation or the host tools (like ecosconfig), you only
need the packages sub-directory. What I use is:
% cd .../ecos/packages
% cvs -q up -d -P
Note: once you've checked the tree out, you don't need to [re]specify
the server information - it's kept in the checked out tree.
