The two most common ways to do this are to cvsup the CVS repo and then
check out your sources; and to write a script that calls cvsup, and
then immediately applies your patches. The advantage to the first
method is that cvs is pretty good about merging in new changes to a
file that you have patched. The advantage to the second method is that
it's faster.
