More like this:

export CVSROOT=:ext:chr15m at pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ 
pure-data
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cd s-abstractions
cvs import abstractions/s-abstractions CHR15M S-ABSTRACTIONS_0_2

It goes like this:
cvs import repository vendor-tag release-tags...

repository - the full path to the spot in the CVS repository where  
this stuff will go.  This could be instead: externals/s-abstractions,  
abstractions/chr15m/s-abstractions, etc. etc.

vendor-tag - whatever tag you want for yourself, standardized to  
UPPERCASE

release-tags - a tag for the library and version that you are  
importing (multiple if you want, only one required)
