Or, simply only update the ecos/packages directory.  Unless you are 
building documentation or the host tools (like ecosconfig), you only
need the packages sub-directory.  What I use is:
  % cd .../ecos/packages
  % cvs -q up -d -P

Note: once you've checked the tree out, you don't need to [re]specify
the server information - it's kept in the checked out tree.
