I just figured out this bug.
The problem is with the directory
savannah/etc/site-specific-content/cvs
I am running on Mac OS X and have a HFS+ partition. This particular file
system is case preserving but not case sensitive. So during the checkout
the CVS directory is being overwritten by the cvs directory and messing
things up. I will just use my linux box later this weekend to grab it.
I do not know what the GNU standards are for naming files and
directories are but I know that internally we cannot use to names that
differ only in case for exactly this reason. This will also cause problems
for some windows users and OS/2 users if you care about them ;-)
Thanks for all your help,
-Eric

This is puzzling.
There is an hypothesis from
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2001/04/08/0014.html
"Yes, that's another problem with CVS: with a checkout, if
the directory exists but is empty it complains instead of
ignoring it.
I'd call this a bug in CVS too."
Since I havent got this trouble, maybe it's a bug fixed in
a recent version of cvs . Can you provide the output of
`cvs --version` ?
Recently a user was having trouble with MacOS X-provided
cvs client -- it was a very very old client, while he had
an up-to-date installation.
If you have something older than 1.11.1p1, please try to
get something lesser old (and tell us here).
