You only have to do this once. So in pseudo-bash-code you'd do:

untar to /boot/home/repository
export CVSROOT=:local:/boot/home/repository
cd /boot/home
cvs checkout current
throw away /boot/home/repository
your files are now in /boot/home/current

The disavantage of doing this is that you cannot do a cvs update to get
the latest files. There is a workaround: you have to change the
Repository file in all the CVS subfolders to point to the SourceForge
servers.
