Yes, but that's easy to fix (on unix-like systems):

CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous_at_[hidden]:/cvsroot/boost"
find . -name CVS -type d | while read dir; do
    test -f $dir/Root && echo "$CVSROOT" > $dir/Root
done

Setting CVSROOT as appropriate, and possibly doing a "cvs login" again
if you're using anon :pserver: access.
