Totally agree with you. This is NOT the way to get stuff from a CVS repo. Only posted it following the insistence that I perceived in using wget for this. I mistakenly took some observations by IOhannes as suggesting to go this way, so that I created the script... IOhannes posted a clarification in the meantime. I stand corrected.
Indeed, DON'T USE this script. It is a very awkward way to get the files, very inefficient, defeats the workings of CVS and is against good cyber- manners.
Best, -P

Anyways, for the benefit of Jared and of others interested in

the examples/tutorial/workshop from CVS, I am attaching a script, which surely can be adjusted/improved in several ways. The script is just what worked for me.
Please never use this script!!!
It's bad practice, not polite at all and in some circles even considered extremely rude to ignore the instructions in "robots.txt"!
And it's not necessary at all: Instead of abusing wget as a CVS-tool, one should just get comfortable with a real CVS-utility.
Ciao
