filter cvs checkout by file type (.ext)

[eliss]

I have a cvs tree with lots of large binary files inside (.gz). The
sheer number of these files makes doing a checkout nearly impossible
because there are gigs of this data.

Is there a way to do "cvs checkout -ext .cpp" or something similar? I
only want the files ending in {.h, .c, .cc, .cpp}

Thanks
