from "man cvs" :
checkout [options] modules...
     Requires: repository.
     Changes: working directory.
     Synonyms: co, get
     Make a working directory containing copies of the source
     files specified by modules.  You must execute `cvs checkout'
     before using most of the other cvs commands, since most of
     them operate on your working directory.
