To clarify, the existing directions do work for me as far as they go -
that is, if I do exactly what they say I can successfully create,
build, and test a unified tree.  It's updating the tree from CVS once
I've got it that doesn't work for me.  I can leave the existing text
alone, but it would be good if someone who knows how to update such a
tree could document the right procedure to do that.

I'll point out that the technique is much simpler if you use uberbaum
(one cvs login/checkout pair .vs. two of them and then two cpio
incantations) and so is arguably a better technique for a how-to
document.
