If you were stuck for this long, it almost certainly means a CVS process has
died and left a stale lock in the repository. Someone needs to go in and
delete it manually.
The problem isn't specific to anonymous access; that's not to say it mightn't
be a good thing to get anoncvs out of the main repository and on to some kind
of mirror.
