Details
I'd like to use WinCvs 1.0.6
(http://cvsgui.org/, http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsgui/)
to check out mozilla code for work, but I cannot do this because the checkout
process requires http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/client.mak to be executed
(as documented in http://www.mozilla.org/cvs.html),
which calls the command line cvs version.
Workaround: use the command line cvs as provided at
http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html.
I also forward this to Alexandre Parenteau (aubonbeurre@hotmail.com), the
developer of WinCvs. (Cc'ing is not possible because he is not registered at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/)
I used WinCVS, you have to copy the command lines. I don't do this anymore, if
it hang's it leaves the file in the read only state.

I'm not sure what E this bug is asking for. If you're asking for us to change
the way checkouts are done from using a pull script to using a single cvs
module, i'm afraid that's not likely to happen.
You might want to file an RFE with wincvs to be callable from the commandline so
that we can create a cvs macro for client.mak to use. Leaving unconfirmed until
we get feedback from original filer.

Well, forget about this bug. Sorry for wasting your time.
It is now clear to me that things works like this:
1) run the makefile to pull the code from several cvs modules (or get the
tarball via ftp, which I did because I'm behind a firewall)
2) use WinCvs, if preferred, to put the code as mozilla "vendor branch" into a
local cvs repository and to track the own changes there.
