Why are you creating the 'alpha' directory? A checkout should create this
directory for you. I'm not sure why this would cause a problem for CVS,
but not knowing much about how well CVS runs under windows and that CVS
seems to be trying to find CVS/Entries indicates that its confused by the
empty directory.
Also these examples assume a root module that you haven't
named. For the sake of this example lets just say that the module name is
'foo'. I would suggest this:
* Do a CVS checkout on the module you want to work on first.
$ cvs checkout foo
* To update remote hosts of file changes or added directories use 'update'
with the '-d' option
$ cd foo
$ cvs update -d
Try to be explicit as possible; use the real module name rather
than '.'. Use 'checkout' to create a new work area. Use 'update' to
freshen files in an existing work area. Use the '-d' option of update to
get any newly created directories in your work area.
