seems I was blind and svn didn't make it better. The notion of package
tree root has changed with mgar. Prior to mgar it was based on our
repository layout and the top level contained gar/ and pkg/. With mgar
the package tree root now _is_ the pkg/ directory.

To make a long story short, your ~/.garrc BUILDTREE currently points to
~/src/opencsw where in fact it needs to point to ~/src/opencsw/pkg.
Guess this mis-configuration slipped in during the early days of mgar
usage. [+]

Just move ~/src/opencsw/.buildsys to ~/src/opencsw/pkg/.buildsys, adjust
BUILDTREE, and you should be ready to go. There might be hickups with
newpkg, this area is subject to fixes and enhancements. Comments and
feature requests welcome.

[+] Funny thing here: the repo root doesn't contain newpkg-Makefile and
svn happily runs svn up on a non-existing file without complaints.
