If you want to have additional files in CVSROOT checked out
automatically when they're committed, you have to add them to
CVSROOT/checkoutlist.

Those are questions you need to ask the author of the script (or whoever
passed it on).

It means that the author likes obfuscated code or doesn't know you can
use alternative delimiters for perl's s command. It does exactly what
the comment says: if $cvsroot ends with two slashes, it removes one of
them.
