MacPorts' cvs does not honor case-sensitivity of FS

[Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri]

For the record:
sudo port uninstall cvs
sudo port -s install cvs +casesensitive

My locally created port variant is now pulled in and my cvs *finally* works as expected (yay!).

The reason for doing it this way is that a local CVS update + rsync is several times quicker than doing the CVS update over the net (even internally).
