        [smc]  Question: What is your current directory when you issue the
        "cvs checkout" command?

        Are you sitting in /xxx/src/master?

        If so, that is your mistake.  You _never_ work inside the
repository.
        It's not like sccs or RCS in that regard.

        (I'm only guessing at what your trouble may be, if what I'm saying
is obvious,
        to you, well then, I'm sorry to waste your time.
