First off, sorry about slow response, I am working
off a backlog of email.

Unless you have a really unique setup, by importing your "project" it 
should have created a directory: /var/cvsroot/project. This is the 
CVSROOT of the "project" project. This is kind of confusing language. 
Let me try to clarify...

A CVS setup has a CVSROOT that is the root for all modules - the "root 
of the tree".

Then each module, or project has it's own "root". This is the root that 
Chora cares about.

For instance, here is an entry from my cvsroots.php

<snip>
$cvsroots['wicap-php'] = array(
     'name' => 'Wicap-PHP',
     'location' => '/home/cvs/wicap-php',
     'title' => 'Wicap-PHP, a captive portal that is more better and 
doesnt suck',
     'default' => true
);
</snip>

However:

cphillips at dante config $ echo $CVSROOT
foobar at fake.com:/home/cvs

And here is the result:

Make sense?

Good luck.
