Yes, because you're checking something new out... if you're updating an
existing tree, you want to use "cvs update" instead.  (See below)

Assuming you've extracted from tarfiles (or used sup), you need to make
sure the files named "Root" in the CVS directories have the correct 
information. (By default, the have incorrect info for anon CVS)

To put the correct repository info into the /usr/src tree, do this:

% echo :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot >/tmp/Root
% cd /usr/src
% find . -name Root -exec cp /tmp/Root {} \;
% cvs -q update -d -P


The "find" will correct the tree's idea of CVSROOT, and the update will
update the files.  (the -d -P means to create new directories as needed,
and to prune empty ones.)

Not sure if I follow, but I don't think so.  One thing you may need to
do (if you don't already) is to build in obj directories, otherwise
you may need to do a "make cleandir" before every "cvs update".

Not that I know of.  :-{

Hope this helps.
