Um, no.  'Hacking' checkout.cvs. doesn't block proper re-cvsupping of
jakarta-tomcat, it allows ordinary option to resume.

Short-term, the problem _has been_ fixed on the repository side, and this
is how to fix it on the client side.

Long-term, cvs is horribly broken in re the file/directory distinction, and
will probably always be so.  Fortunately it doesn't come up very often.
