During the lifetime of a source tree, some files are removed from the last, most up to date `version' of the source tree (CVS calls this the HEAD branch). In source control systems, like CVS, the history of that file is still important. The Attic/ subdirectory is CVS's way of preserving that history. When a file is 'removed' from the HEAD of a source tree, then CVS moves this file in the repository into an Attic/ subdirectory. This way, the file is not checked out when someone asks for a clean copy of the HEAD branch, but is still there if someone wants to view it later on. Long story made short: Read the last log entry of the file in the Attic/. It was `cvs removed' :-) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
