Yes Please, I feel that I deserve it.  If you would be so kind as to use
a hammer and chisel and make a mirror image so that I don't forget :-)
because after reading the handbook, the FAQ, the Makefile and 51 printed 
pages of the man entry for cvs, I still can't get a release.

Here is my error

for i in /sbin/mount /sbin/umount /usr/bin/cpio ; do  cp -p /squid2$i
/squid2//bootstrap ;  done
cd /squid2/usr && rm -rf src &&  cvs -d /usr/src co -P src
cvs checkout: cannot find module `src' - ignored
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Here's what I am doing.
I do exactly as the manual recomends:
Manual:
	 *default tag=.
         *default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
         *default prefix=/usr
         *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
         *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
         src-all
         cvs-crypto
My file:
	*default tag=.
	*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
	*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
	*default prefix=/usr
	*default release=cvs
	*default delete use-rel-suffix
	src-all
	cvs-crypto
	ports-all

With this I do a cvsup -p -L 2 cvs-supfile as the cvs-supfile recomends
and I assume that this creates the repository that you mention.

I have tried to make release both with and without a make world 
first with the same results.

I loose it at the following line in the Makefile in the release
directory.

.if !defined(RELEASETAG)
        cd ${CHROOTDIR}/usr && rm -rf src && \
                cvs -d ${CVSROOT} co -P src

It seems to want to find the src directory en the $CHROOTDIR/usr
that it erased.  I have gone into the directory directly and done
a check on each directory and it seems to work fine.

I'm sure that I have skipped over the result that I will gladly engrave
with a hammer and chisel as a mirror image on my forehead if you will
just tell me what to engrave :-)

thanks

ed
 P.S. I have tried using the environment variables, the CVS Root and
Repository
variables, and the hard coded ones in the Makefile with the same
results.
