That seems to only work for local repositories. There's probably an
obvious reason for this...
This should work for any working directory (it doesn't use cvs at all):
find . -name CVS |awk '{print "echo $CVSROOT >" $1 "/Root"}'
The output will overwrite each CVS/Root file in the current tree with
$CVSROOT.
Just append '|sh' to execute the output.
