This doesn't belong in CVS proper.  It wouldn't hurt to have a
supported (as opposed to ./contrib) script for it, if someone
felt like writing one, and someone else felt like committing it
:-)

But failing even that, it's pretty simple; something along the
lines of:
        newroot=...
        for f in `find $sandbox -type f -print | grep '/CVS/Root$'`; do
                echo $newroot >$f
        done

I used "find | grep" because find on its own can't filter for
".../CVS/Root" (GNU find can do it, but others can only do
".../Root", which isn't specific enough.)
