Why use :local: for the webserver update???

I use the same thing in the postcommit script and mine looks like this
(it is a batch file called from postcommit):
@echo off
d:
cd d:\Websites\company
cvs -d :sspi:cvsupdater:password at cvsserver:/PC update -d

Note that it is important to do the two commands D: and cd to the
website sandbox.
Then a simple update command using a specified user with the user
password entered on the script line works fine.
