That was the intent ! When you check out a sandbox from that import you get your own CVS/ subdirectories *and* the CVS-orig/ directories from the other guys. By switching them you can make your sandbox appear to have been checked out from either CVS server. Not for the faint of heart.
You're right, not for the faint of heart. I can see how it might be useful in testing situations, but I don't think I'd use it for a production repository, especially if both of the source repositories were being used. You'd very quickly get into a situation where rev x.y in one repos was different than rev x.y in the other. I'm not sure how CVS would resolve/report that.
