I meant specifically focused on installing/updating using CVS,  
*instead* of downloading tarballs. So, that means ignoring everything  
about development, patches, etc. (all of which you won't need), and  
instead just doing CVS updates to keep everything up to date.

It's likely a small use case, so I wouldn't worry about it, but it is  
a very good way to keep your Drupal site up to date.
