Did you add "-d" to "cvs update"?

Please see http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/. there is warning 
about this problem:

Once you have downloaded and unpacked this snapshot, you can cd to the 
src directory and use the command:

cvs update

to bring your sources up-to-date (see note above about login). Note 
though that new directories should not be checked out using cvs update 
-d (that will check out the entire repository), instead each new 
directory should be checked out individually using cvs update -d DIRECTORY.
