from man cvs:

       export Prepare  copies  of a set of source files for ship-
              ment off site.  Differs from `cvs checkout' in that
              no  cvs administrative directories are created (and
              therefore `cvs commit' cannot be  executed  from  a
              directory  prepared  with `cvs export'), and a sym-
              bolic tag must  be  specified.   (Does  not  change
              repository;  creates  directory  similar to working
              directories).
