Perhaps something like this?
mkdir /cvsroot
cd /cvsroot
cvs -d /path/to/repository co coolpaddy/source/dir_to_be_copied
cd coolpaddy
cvs -d /path/to/repository co -d dir_to_be_copied coolpaddy/source/dir_to_be_copied
This presumes that /path/to/repository contains coolpaddy/source/dir_to_be_copied,
but regardless the principle is that you can checkout a repository directory into
the sandbox pretty much whereever you want to.
You can update both simply with:
cd /cvsroot
cvs update
You can commit from either directory and the committed files go to the same place
in the repository
/path/to/repository/coolpaddy/source/dir_to_be_copied
There are still two copies in your sandbox, but only one in the repository.
