Hmmm, I don't know what's going on with your repository. I haven't
seen any problems my self, or gotten any other reports of problems,
but I'll keep my ears open.
If you see this kind of thing again, please make a "ls -RAlF" listing
of your repository (or part of it that's bad), and send it to me.
Also, please send copies of the corresponding "checkouts.cvs"
file(s) from your "${base}/sup/collection" directories. With those
two pieces of information, I should be able to determine whether
CVSup is really screwing up or not. I should have asked you for
them in the present case, but I suppose it's too late now. :-(

Thanks! Reports of suspected bugs are very much appreciated.
