It all depends on where you make the changes, now doesn't it.  If you
make them in the working directory then you can just check them in.

I.e. if you keep your _source_ files in the working directory (sandbox)
and then use a build system to put them into the environment where they
can be used/tested, you wouldn't need to use 'cvs export' (except
perhaps to create frozen releases).
