Short-term, the problem _has been_ fixed on the repository side, and this is how to fix it on the client side. Long-term, cvs is horribly broken in re the file/directory distinction, and will probably always be so. Fortunately it doesn't come up very often. >jmc -spc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
