I could not reproduce this problem.  It works for me, even in the form you
are using.

Please be more detailed next time.  Not everybody has time to figure out
what command on which website you mean.  You are limiting the number of
people who can help you by not giving enough details.

I believe that "the entirely new copy" is what you need.  Run "cvs update"
in that directory to update it.

Please run "info cvs" and read the CVS documentation.
