I got impatient and killed it. I had a similar problem with 2.2.7,
and in that case ISTR that I let it finish, and it didn't check
anything else out, so I assumed there was something wrong with what I
was doing.

OK, it wasn't in val-tags, so I tried again, with
cvs co -r RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE src
It took nearly 10 minutes, during which it created only src/CVS and
(correct) contents. Then it started checking out normally. It still
hasn't finished, but it has updated val-tags, so I'll assume it's a
quirk rather than a bug. I'll put something in the book about it.

It can't be that simple, since this time I checked out only src.
