I find an ability to handle several .cvsrc files to be very valuable. If a
proper .cvsrc is published with a build, it becomes possible to define
default branches for each release. If CVSRC_PATH=/etc:~:$BUILD, then
/etc/.cvsrc is sourced first to get installation wide defaults, then
~/.cvsrc, then $BUILD/.cvsrc.
