This should never happen. CVS will never There are a few :-) other files like this - everything that was moved to the attic between 1993 and 1995 before cvs-1.6 potentially has it; 2065 of 5809 files in attics have "recording cvs-1.6 file death". >If CVS still treats it as dead, that can only be because of some >sort of provision for compatibility with very old repositories >(pre-1.6 of CVS).
