I did a checkout like so:
$ cd ~/cvs
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src login
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src checkout
binutils+gdb

... so, if I have ~/cvs/src being the top of my binutils+gdb tree (with
NO mention anywhere of binutils+gdb in the tree, fitting what Michael
said), from the level above, if I understand you correctly?

This doesn't work.
$ cd ~/cvs
$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src update -R -d -P
binutils+gdb
cvs server: Updating binutils+gdb
cvs server: cannot open directory /cvs/src/binutils+gdb: No such file or
directory
cvs server: skipping directory binutils+gdb
$

What did I do wrong?
