as far as I know, the only thing that is 'broken' is cvsweb ... and since 
it looks directly *at* teh cvs repository, not sure how it breaks that ... 
but, it isn't 'just a CVS checkout issue', unless you mean that *everyone* 
working on code is going to have to re-check out their source tree, which 
then it is a simple matter :)

Note that 'cvs checkout -P pgsql' is, and always has been, the method of 
checking out/in code ... and I haven't had any reports of that being 
broken ... have you?
