The new version of CVS has 'death-support', which allows you to bring stuff in-out of the Repository w/out moving things in/out of the Attic. I'm not sure how to fix this other than to upgrade the version of CVS on freefall to the new version, and make sure all the developers also upgrade to it at the same time. (It would probably be good for the developers to upgrade to the newer version of rcs as well) Nate
