HOWTO: Accessing re-organized Fedora Docs CVS

I object to having [potentially] several copies of the common stuff
under each document.

As long as common directories are peers of the working document (read
that as "../common") you are going to need a separate "cvs update"
command because there is no longer a "CVS/" peer directory to them
for one-stop-shopping.

Either we stay with the current setup, or we go in and do surgery so
that documents expect the common stuff as subdirectories.

Since it's a style issue, I don't feel justified in saying one is
technologically better than another although for a software development
project I know what I'd choose.  Just pick one and let the edits fall
where they may.

Cheers!
