Well, CVS already saves that information in your working directory, so you
usually only need to specify a CVSROOT for login, checkout, and logout.
Why bother?

If you really wanted, you could write a script (we'll call it cvsaliai for
now) that does the following:

#! /bin/sh
sed -n "/^$1 /{s/^$1 //;p;}" < $HOME/.cvsaliai


Then set up $HOME/.cvsaliai to something like the following:

projectname CVSROOT
projectname2 CVSROOT2
projectname3 CVSROOT3
. . .


Then when you run cvs commands on a new root use:

cvs -d`cvsaliai projectname` . . .


Hope that helps.
