I disagree. You could theoretically have different variables pointing
to different repositories with various working copies on your computer.
For example - I have 3 separate working copies attached to 3 separate
repositories. The first is our code server, the second is a completely
separate repository for documents, and the third is my own personal code
server that I have hosted from home. SO - in the CVS world, what would
I set my CVSROOT to? Given Ryan's response, I could create
$CODE/project/path, $DOCS/project/path, and $HOME/project/path.
