It seems a non-fatal error as

cvs -d :pserver:anon...@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -r \
QT_REBIRTH_200302022_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk

still checks out mozilla/client.mk.

Not sure why cvs wants to write this file.
Maybe it's missing a "QT_REBIRTH_200302022_BRANCH y" line.

It doesn't seem right to provide anonymous with write access to
that directory (unless a chmod +t would make it safe somehow, but not
sure what other problems that might cause).
