Oops.  Yep.  That's probably it.  I should have spotted it.  I'll get in 
and rename it on the server.

Pat or anyone else who has the directory checked out may see errors on 
their next update.  You can either grab a fresh checkout or just rm -rf 
your Tests/cvs directory and rename the entry in Tests/CVS/Entries from 
cvs to ccvs, or delete the entry entirely from the Entries file, and 
then update.

If you have changes in that directory you really need to commit, you 
could also rename the Tests/cvs directory to Tests/ccvs, rename the 
entry in Tests/CVS/Entries to ccvs, and replace the cvs in the line in 
each CVS/Repository file underneath Tests/ccvs (the old Tests/cvs) with 
ccvs (cd Tests; mv cvs ccvs; sed 's/cvs/ccvs/;' <CVS/Entries >tmp; mv 
tmp CVS/Entries; for directory in `find ccvs -name CVS`; do sed 
's/cvs/ccvs/;' <$directory/Repository >tmp; mv tmp 
$directory/Repository; done # or something close to that).

Someone will probably have to edit the Makefile.am with the new path 
too.  I'll do it later if noone else has time.
