The directory I'm checking it out into, isn't controlled by CVS (no CVS
folders).
I am using "cvs co -d dest module", I have also tried to just name the
module on the server the same as the existing directory and then check it
out into one directory higher. I get the same problem.
Thanks for your help,
Jason A.
