First of all, the easiest path is just to tunnel NFS over SSH (or IPsec)
and have a local copy of the data.  Or indeed any filesystem such as 
a WebDAV mount.  This wouldn't require any code-changes to Chora.

Otherwise you need to start looking at the 'cvs server' protocol,
which communicates directly (via the CVS_RSH transport) with the remote
repository.  Documentation for this is thin on the ground, and I'd
hesitate to recommend this.
