            <para>Import all files into cvs.  In order to work on
            files with source control, the files must be checked out
            from cvs.  So we will import, move aside, and then check
            out all of the files.  In the cvs import command,
            <computeroutput><replaceable>$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME</replaceable></computeroutput>
            refers to the cvs repository to use; it uses the CVSROOT
            plus this string,
            i.e.
            <computeroutput>/cvsroot/<replaceable>$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME</replaceable></computeroutput>.
            "OpenACS" is the vendor tag, and "&cvsversiontag;" is the
            release tag.  These tags will be useful in upgrading and
            branching.  -m sets the version comment.</para>
