CVS works just fine - it's just that the filesystem is case insensitive
[1],
so when you check out src/contrib, the distinction between
src/contrib/CVS [2]
src/contrib/cvs is lost, and Bad Shit happens.
Try using Disk Copy to setup and mount a blank (UFS) image, or having a
separate
UFS partition.
[1] Unless your filesystem is UFS, rather than HFS+, in which case
you'll have
lots of interesting other problmes.
[2] CVS keeps a shedload of metadata here
