A few notes from a fairly experienced sprinter (as far as experience goes).
If the amount of participants to the sprint is expected to be large
(10+) it is important to do some of this preparation in advance, as 
otherwise you'll waste lots of time on this during the sprint itself.
So let everybody do a CVS checkout before the sprint, try to assign tasks
to tackle before the sprint.
