I don't know where you'd find docco, but the quick version is: set your
CVS_RSH environment variable to be "ssh", your CVSROOT to be whatever
the root of the CVS repository is (eg host.com:/cvsroot/).

Then go to wherever you're working on stuff and say "cvs checkout
modulename" where modulename is the name of the module you want to check
out and proceed as normal from there.

I'm assuming you already have some experience with CVS and SSH.  If this
is not the case, then there's a whole nother level of complexity.

A quick google for "cvs ssh faq" turns up a lot of useful-looking links.
http://bosdocs.berlios.de/topic18.html should probablu answer most of
your questions.
