$CVSROOT
--------

This specifies the path to the repository.  This is overridden with the
-d global option and by the ambient repository for a given working copy.
The path to the repository may be preceded by an access method,
username, and host, according to the following syntax:

     [[:METHOD:][[USER@]HOST]:]/REPOSITORY_PATH

See the -d global option, in the section Note: Global Options near
the beginning of this chapter, for a list of valid methods.
