I removed the directories and did a new checkout on the command line (bash)
and that did the trick! Thanks. Now WinCvs is confused. What is the trick in
WinCvs to teach it better (UNIX - CR/LF) manners? I did uninstall it and
reinstalled it hoping it would pick up the environment more intelligently,
but it looks like it retained its previous settings.

That implies that you already had a CVSROOT/config file (normally, init
would have create it), the contents of which are not valid.

If you're running in a checked-out directory, CVS uses the root stored
in the CVS/Root file rather than what the $CVSROOT environment variable
is set to. The above messages show the classic symptoms of line-ending
problems. If you're using both cynwin CVS and WinCVS, you need to make
sure that both are set to use the same line ending conventions (either
DOS or Unix); right now, it looks like they're different.
