Nope. You still have a local copy. It just means that it uses SSH
internally to send the patches, etc. e.g:

export CVS_RHS=ssh # could be set in your .bashrc or similar
cvs commit
ghutchis@cvs.htdig.sourceforge.net password:

Exactly this. The SSH key would prevent needing to use a password every
time you run a cvs command. (In my case, it's enough to be worth it.) But
if you're willing to type the password, then you're set.
