Let's say you have a CVS work directory ~/work/dotfiles for your,
well, dot files. Then you'd create two files .emacs and Makefile
there and Makefile would look like this:
install:
( cd $HOME; ln -s work/dotfiles/.emacs )
After this, wherever you go, just
mkdir ~/work
cd ~/work
cvs -d $YOUR_REPOSITORY co dotfiles
cd dotfiles
make install
The above is for a fresh account. After you've done it once, just
cd ~/work/dotfiles
cvs up -dP
make install
if the repository has changed.
