You are correct. Thank you for pointing this out.

Another method Emma may want to use is making a diff of the changes
she made and then sending the patch up to her servers. ssh is able to
run a single command as opposed to providing a shell so possibly:

cvs diff > new.diff
scp patch.diff wherever:~/public_html/scripts
ssh wherever "cd ~/public_html/scripts && patch < new.diff"

You can also tag an entire set of CVS files with some identifier, such
as "RELEASE_0_1" and later on have cvs generate any changes from
RELEASE_0_1.
