Hello,

I'm trying to check out 'src' from the anoncvs servers (I've tried the
main site and the two US mirrors.) Each time I've tried, the check-out
fails with the following messages:

cvs update: in directory gnu/dist/cvs:
cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
cvs update: move away gnu/dist/cvs/AUTHORS; it is in the way
C src/gnu/dist/cvs/AUTHORS
U src/gnu/dist/cvs/BUGS

It takes a while for the failure to happen because it successfully
pulls over hundreds of files before it stops. After 'cvs' exits, there
is no 'src'gnu'dist'cvs' directory at all. I'm using the cvs client on
OSX, so it's version 1.10 (I don't think this should matter.)

Am I doing something wrong here? I've checked out source on other
machines over the years, so I have some familiarity in doing this.

Any help would be appreciated!
