If I were you, I'd use scp to recursively copy the entire repository
(well, at least the CVSROOT directory and the root directory you're
interested in from host_1 to host_2, then delete the subdirectories you
don't want and examine the contents of CVSROOT very carefully since
there may be references to scripts that you'll need to change or
eliminate, a passwd file, etc.  If host_2 doesn't currently have an
active repository, you can just use the copy from host_1; otherwise,
you'll have to merge the stuff in the CVSROOT directories.
