An URL like this will work:
http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dvb-kernel-v4/build-2.6/Makefile?rev=HEAD

The ~checkout~ URLs will not work due to server misconfiguration.
In the near future (I hope) we will move to a new machine, and
we might include a "get tarball" feature like DirectFB already
does. http://directfb.org/index.php/viewcvs.cgi/DirectFB/

If you want I could send you a tarball. But please note that
the dvb-kernel-v4 stuff is still heavily worked upon, and
a lot of changes are pending.

Regards,
Johannes
