One thing I often do in such a case (where the CVS dirs got messed up)
is to make a new checkout in a different directory, and copy _only the
CVS dirs_ to the old tree.
E.g.:
$ cvs -d ... co -d new-checkout emacs
$ cd new-checkout
$ find . -name CVS -print | xargs tar cf ../new-cvs-dirs.tar
$ cd ../old-checkout
$ find . -name CVS -print | xargs rm -rv
$ tar xvf ../new-cvs-dirs.tar
[Usually I make a tar-file with the old CVS dirs before removing them,
just in case...]
