You have to edit all of the CVS/Root files to point to the new
server.  Scripts have been posted for this in the past.  Something
like this (untested!) should work:

perl -pi.bak -e 's|\@gcc\.gnu\.org/cvs|\@subversions\.gnu\.org/cvsroot|' \
	$(find . -name Root | grep CVS/Root)

- replacing gcc\.gnu\.org with the appropriate hostname, whatever you
happen to have in your CVS/Root files.  They're all the same for any
given checkout.

It may also be necessary to tweak the CVS/Repository files, I'm not
sure.
