The CVS "-d dirname" renaming option cannot be used with the aliases as
currently configured.  This is a limitation of CVS and, with the three
check-ins that I just made, at least it is well-documented in both the
web pages:

  http://mitgcm.org/using_cvs.html

and in the manual:

  http://mitgcm.org/pelican/online_documents/node85.html

I realize that its an inconvenience (sorry!), but using two commands

  $  cvs co MITgcm_verif_basic
  $  mv MITgcm MITgcm_verif_basic

to accomplish the re-name isn't that bad.

ps - CVS is less than ideal.  It would be so nice if we could have the
bk-style "clone" functionality for those times when we're on the road
and can't get a good 'net connection to access the repository.  I'll see
what the state of the bk-to-CVS gateway is.
