I just tried that and I'm only able to reproduce it if the $CVSROOT/www
directory is read-only.  In this case it fails for me in 1.5.10 *and*
in 1.5.9, so I don't see a difference... except when logged in via
OpenSSH using public key authentication.  In that case I'm able to
checkout the directory under 1.5.9 but not under 1.5.10.  AFAICS, the
behaviour under 1.5.10 is "right"(tm).  Does the description match
your situation?
