You can check out from a Windows box directly.  WinCVS works fine for
this purpose.  It's setup and making it use an SSH key is always a bit
confusing for me, but that's because of my little experience with
Windows software.  It can be done though...

True.  But it was described "below" because your reply was top-posted.
Top-posting is annoying in many little ways, so I manually fixed it.

Good luck with CVS :-)

Oh, and another thing.  If you have more technical questions like this,
please post them on freebsd-questions.  That's the proper list.
