[lug] CVS temporary files

[Brad Doctor]

On the client side, you need to set the CVS_SERVER variable:

bash:

export CVS_SERVER=cvs -T(path to larger tmp directory)

tcsh:

setenv CVS_SERVER 'cvs -T(path to larger tmp directory)'


Test it by checking out a large module and do an ls on the newly specified 
directory - there should be a directory there while the checkout is occuring.

I don't know how to do this on the server side when using a different transport
such as ssh (CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh) - but I did try this out and it works when
the client-side variables above are set.
