Okay, I have a newly made CVS account, and I'm somewhat familiar with it (I've used Subversion in the past, so I know the intricacies of the concepts anyway)

So, I am trying to follow this guide here: http://drupal.org/node/2972 - seeing as I am using a Mac and there don't seem to be many CVS clients on them, this is seeming like my only choice.

Anyways, I go through the steps fine, until the Click Add under step 5 (adding a repository). When I click add, the window essentially blinks as if it is supposed to go away, but it comes back up. The only way I could get the window itself to go away is by clicking cancel, but then the repository isn't added - no error messages or anything.

What is a good CVS client (preferably command line) for a mac (intel, not PPC) that is free as well - if the same thing doesn't happen, which I don't expect to be a common thing, I can probably set it up myself.

By the click add - I mean the one underneath the password line.

Install XCode from the Install Disc 2 that probably came with your Mac. Else you can download it from http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html
It will install the command line CVS application which you can run in the Terminal. You can then follow the commands in the CVS documentation.

Okay, I installed XCode, then looked to Apple's guide: http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/cvsoverview.html

And I got up to the cvs init and it gives me cvs [init aborted]: cannot make directory Emptydir: Permission denied.

I've tried changing the permissions on the directory to 777 and still no luck - I've cross-posted this on the Apple discussion boards as well for help there.
