I don't know exactly what that does, but my suspicion is that it's
essentially doing an update,

Right, you need to do somthing like:

   cvs -d:ext:henry@cvs.mlton.org/cvsroot co mlton

   cvs update


My "normal" operation is the following:

1) cvs -d:ext:fluet@cvs.mlton.org/cvsroot co mlton
2) cd mlton
3) cvs update

Step 1) is done once at the beginning of time. (Or, every time the CVS
server changes).  That creates the mlton directory with everything checked
out.  Then I do step 3) whenever I want to sync against the repository.
You shouldn't need to check out again.
