Er, hmm, it is right now.

I think my ports tree is originally off the 2.5 CD. I've since
updated it over the net using cvs. The "ignoring CVS Root because
is specifies a non-existent repository /cvs" message is more of a
warning actually, at least it is not a fatal error. After complaining,
cvs continues by using CVSROOT.

The question is, how do I get rid of the message? Or rather, how
do I update CVS/Root to the currently used CVSROOT? Should I remove
all CVS/Root files? And where can I get a brain infusion that
teaches me CVS? The manual looks daunting.
