I have an anonymous CVS checkout of my project's source from the repository at SF.net. Is there any way to "upgrade" to a developer based checkout?
There's a lot of "extras" in the current checked-out source tree. Things that shouldn't be committed back, but are a pain to setup in the first place. So I'd prefer to not have to wipe the checkout and re-checkout anew.

Welcome to the pain of CVS.
You can, but you have to juggle a bit, and do quite a bit manually..
First setup three directories:
BACKUP
ANON
DEV
Do a cvs checkout in the dev directory, using your dev login. copy anon (with your changes) to backup.
Then move the *.php files from ANON to dev, overwriting the originals. Commit. Then when you think you are done, manually do a diff between the directories, ensuring that you didn't miss any important files. Rinse, repeat.
Eventually, anon will have no files, dev will have all the changes, and they will be committed. When its 100% done, you can delete backup, and you are all set.
