Sort-of.  I cleaned out a pile of empty directories and Attics to help
'cvs update -d -P' along, but got some that were a bit too recent.  We've
recreated some of them so that people with reasonably recent ports trees
shouldn't be too inconvenienced.

In this case, if you get a problem with ports/devel/glade/patches, then rm 
-rf the checked out version, it got 'cvs rm'ed from the repository a while 
ago, but cvs is being paranoid.  Give it a help along by removing the 
defunct checked out copies of the files.  And then rerun the
cvs update -dP (sorry).
