Don't run the HEAD of the CVS repository on a production server!
Even if Drupal isn't broken, contrib modules will be.

The idea of using CVS is that you check out the 4.6 release branch
from CVS. And you can then use cvs update to suck down updates.

Something like:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal \
co -r DRUPAL-4-6 drupal

Then to update you just do:
cvs update -dP

Same goes for contrib modules.
