anonymous CVS is broken :(

[Nix]

Whoever is providing anonymous CVS, it's broken.

,----
| loki:/usr/packages/gimp% echo $CVSROOT
| :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/gnome
| loki:/usr/packages/gimp% cvs -z5 co -r gimp-1-2 gimp
| cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
| cvs [server aborted]: no such tag gimp-1-2
`----

You can't check out or update anything with any tag at all.

Not optimal.
