Some CVS users are used to using the release command to delete their working checkout (e.g. in Eclipse
	terminology this means to delete the working project). In Eclipse	you can workaround this:
	
	1. release the project
	2. delete project from workspace (simply by deleting from within Eclipse)
	Note: this won't trigger a note added to the cvs history file.	

	Cancels a checkout (indicates that a working copy is no longer in use). Unlike most CVS commands that 
	operate on a working copy, this one is not invoked from within the working copy but from directly above 
	it (in its parent directory). You either have to set your CVSROOT environment variable or use the -d global 
	option, as CVS will not be able to find out the repository from the working copy. 

	Using release is never necessary. Because CVS doesn't normally do locking, you can just remove your working 
	copy. However, if you have uncommitted changes in your working copy or you want your cessation of work to 
	be noted in the CVSROOT/history file (see the history command), you should use release. CVS first checks for 
	any uncommitted changes; if there are any, it warns you and prompts for continuation. Once the working copy is 
	actually released, that fact is recorded in the repository's CVSROOT/history file.
