I had the same error on a SourceForge repository with a file called
Makefile and posted here a request for help. Christian Brechbuehler

Since I do not have access to the SourceForge CVS I had to ask SourceForge
support for their help.
They solved the problem, but I'm not sure how.
That's all I know.
Any additional info is welcome, since I run once again into the same
problem, so I guess there must be something more (e.g. problem with
lowercase/uppercase file name using WinCVS client and Unix CVS server)
