Checks out.  Be sure to modify these files to suit your site, if you
intend on comitting to your CVS repository for private use, etc.

`cvs log src'

Was /usr/src checked out from your CVS tree, by chance?  If it wasn't, CVS
may be having trouble figuring out what you're talking about.  Check this
by looking /usr/src for a CVS/ directory.

Not required, but you might want to have one that specifies diff to use
unidiffs (-u) as per common usage.
