directions for cvs?

[Sean Porterfield <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a bit of trouble with cvs and thought someone might already
know the answer to this.  If I use `cvs checkout tn5250` I get all sorts
of errors telling me that I need to move files out of the way.  Of
course, I can clear the directory first and get all new files, but that
is extra work and unnecessary bandwidth.

I read in man cvs that I can cd into my tn5250 directory and do `cvs
update tn5250` and only get changed files.  Sounds like exactly what
I wanted.  But I get an error:

$ cvs update tn5250
cvs update: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or
directory
cvs [update aborted]: no repository

Any suggestions?
