Wrong. It is checking for them in the current directory. If you check out another copy someplace, I think you'll find that the cvs update *does* work as expected and that the real problem is your checked out copy has some .# state that is missing. How it got rm'd I can only guess. >The repository data is incorrect because I never had the files in the >first place.
