CVS has nothing to with it at all. Brace expansion is done already
by the shell. The above is completely equivalent to
cvs -d :ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnulib \
checkout gnulib/regex.c gnulib/regex.h
Because I did not trust CVS in that regard, I had not written
gnulib/regexp.\[ch] which would have had to be expanded by CVS
(without the backslash, it would have become a filename glob and that
can't be expanded before the files are there).
Even this mistrust may be misapplied since CVS _has_ to support
globbing itself (because of interpreting .cvsignore files, for one
thing). However, a cursory glance through the man and info pages has
left me in the dark about whether patterns would be allowed in the
checkout command.
So I used brace expansion which bypasses CVS altogether.
