<p>The <code>CVS</code> build step performs a <a href="http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/">CVS</a> checkout or update. It takes the following arguments:
<dl>
<dt><code>cvsroot</code><dd>(required): specify the CVSROOT value, which points to a CVS
repository, probably on a remote machine. For example, the cvsroot
value you would use to get a copy of the Buildbot source code is
<code>:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/buildbot</code>
<br><dt><code>cvsmodule</code><dd>(required): specify the cvs <code>module</code>, which is generally a
subdirectory of the CVSROOT. The cvsmodule for the Buildbot source
code is <code>buildbot</code>.
<br><dt><code>branch</code><dd>a string which will be used in a <code>-r</code> argument. This is most
useful for specifying a branch to work on. Defaults to <code>HEAD</code>.
<br><dt><code>global_options</code><dd>a list of flags to be put before the verb in the CVS command.
<br><dt><code>checkout_options</code><br><dt><code>export_options</code><br><dt><code>extra_options</code><dd>a list of flags to be put after the verb in the CVS command.
<code>checkout_options</code> is only used for checkout operations,
<code>export_options</code> is only used for export operations, and
<code>extra_options</code> is used for both.
<br><dt><code>checkoutDelay</code><dd>if set, the number of seconds to put between the timestamp of the last
known Change and the value used for the <code>-D</code> option. Defaults to
half of the parent Build's treeStableTimer.
