You do not want "default" as a collection.  You want to *set*
default values for some variables.  To set default values, you
need to have an '*' character before the word 'default'.  E.g.:

*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default tag=RELENG_6_0
*default delete use-rel-suffix

src-all

Note that you do not want to add a '*' before 'src-all', because
'src-all' is the name of a collection that you want to track.
