I've using this one daily for quite some time.  I name it "local", and
also symlink "remote" to it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

REMOTE=":ext:address@hidden:/gd/gnu/cvsroot"
LOCAL=":local:$HOME/src/cvsroot"

if [ $(basename $0) = remote ]; then
    TEMP=$REMOTE
    REMOTE=$LOCAL
    LOCAL=$TEMP
fi

for i in $(find . -name CVS -type d); do
    echo Converting $i...
    perl -i~ -pne "s~$REMOTE~$LOCAL~;" $i/Root
done
