 This one:

 cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs co copyleft/copyleft.html

 In order to facilitate your work I suggest you run 

 mkdir ~/www.gnu.org
 cd ~/www.gnu.org
 cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs co .

 before going to bed. The next morning you'll have the whole web site on
disk (300Mb) and it will be very confortable to work with.

 cd ~/www.gnu.org/copyleft
 edit copyleft.html
 ... edit some more files ...

 cd ~/www.gnu.org
 cvs -z3 -q commit -m 'I did this'

 And read your mail until it finishes. When you come back after 3 weeks
of inactivity do the following:

 cd ~/www.gnu.org
 cvs -z3 -q update -d
 (update is a *lot* less expensive than an initial checkout)

 Note that whenever your are in a directory that was checked out, you can
omit the -d.....

     Cheers,
