I'm forwarding this message to the list since there are a few open questions.
I've actually followed Justin's advice and am reinstalling the entire cvs tree
on my machine, but for the future it would be nice to know what is wrong...

I'm not sure either, but you can ask Bernhard Reiter or John Huddleston.
Bernhard is the CVS administrator and John seems to be our CVS expert.

Justin when I type 'cvs update -PdA grass I get:

cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [update aborted]: no repository

I don't get this message when I leave out 'grass'. Is this a problem ?

It always worked for me, so I'm not sure. If you have the time, you
might consider deleteing your grass tree and checking out the entire
source again (if you haven't made a lot of changes). I had to do it a
couple of times myself. I don't know for sure, it's getting out of my
league now. Perhaps Bernhard and John have better answers for you.
Sorry.

If you go into grass/ and update with
cvs update -dP

you get the latest code.

If you want a tagged version, open a new directory and
check it out:
cvs -z3 co -r "release_grass5beta8_26_july_2000" grass

I update *within* grass directory and *without* grass-parameter
(see above). That works well for me.

Moritz and Justin, (Grass list)

Yes, there is a very quick way to see if you have a TAG'd version
checked out. Look into the CVS subdirectory and the Entries file.
After the very last forward slash, there will be no value if it is the
current or HEAD value. If it is checked out with a TAG or release
number (which is the same thing as a tag) then you will see /T...
where ... is the tag name.

For instance, for a 'thatfile' which has more than one revision, do the following:

grep thatfile CVS/Entries
cvs update -r1.1 thatfile
grep thatfile CVS/Entries
cvs update -A thatfile
grep thatfile CVS/Entries

You will be able to see the difference. The jCVS and the WinCVS
show the TAG in the window if it exists. Hope that helps.

Regarding the message, cannot open CVS/Entres, you may have
checked out grass using the full command:

cvs -d :ext:user@intevation.de:/grassrepository co grass

In which case, no top level file would have been created. In this
case change in the grass directory and do the update

cd grass
cvs update -PdA .
