Can't check out cvs repository: ignoring module ...

[Christian Joensson <christian at j-son dot org>]

Just trying to check out the binutils cvs repository, I get a strange
problem...

$ cvs -q -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/src co binutils

resulting in an empty top dir (apart from subdirs...)

$ ls
CVS  binutils  contrib  etc  gprof    intl  libiberty  texinfo
bfd  config    cpu      gas  include  ld    opcodes

(This is on Windows XP/Pro running an up to date cygwin install...)

Any ideas of what goes wrong?
