I've been doing that for quite some time:

*default host=postgresql.org
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default base=/home/pgcvs
*default prefix=/home/pgcvs
pgsql

This fetches me the RCS files:

/home/pgcvs % ls -l
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 9 bright wheel 512 Sep 7 03:35 pgsql
/home/pgcvs % ls -l pgsql/
total 2148

the problem is that I don't get the CVSROOT directory, the one
that contains all the administrative scripts.
