I also have -R in most of my ~/.cvsrc's, and when I need to commit,
I just use "cvs -f" (for local repos).  For remote repos, -R is not
a problem (it's not passed on the wire) unless you happen to have
it set in ~/.cvsrc on the repository host.  Even in this case, it
is still possible to commit by setting CVS_SERVER="cvs -f" in the
environment of the committing host.
