Oh...  The FreeBSD Project has decided to separate its CVS repositories
into four - src, doc, ports, projects respectively.  There are now four
actual "CVSROOT"'s so to avoid conflicits they are called CVSROOT-src,
CVSROOT-ports and so forth when you check out from a CVS repository and
CVSROOT was changed to a combined one that contains necessary information
for checkouts (e.g. modules, etc).

So you may want to have:

	cvs co CVSROOT-src

instead of
	cvs co CVSROOT

if you want the CVSROOT source for the src repository.
