Even though the CVS files ended up in the same directory as the cvs source
files, that worked okay.  Go figure.

I was playing around with an external firewire drive, and it looks like
creating a case-sensitive bootable filesystem is relatively straightforward
under 10.4.  It just takes a while to copy stuff to my firewire drive and
back.  I guess from stuff I had read, Apple went with case-insensitive
as a default because OS 9 was that way.
