Hmmm... OK, I'll look into this more closely.

While I'm at it, I think I'll look into the discrepancy between 
documented behaviour of the 'cvs watch' commands and the actual 
behaviour. According to the documentation, if "files" mentions any 
directories, it should set the default attributes for that directory; 
cvs 1.11 only sets default attributes if "files" is omitted. I don't 
object to the behaviour, but it will make it difficult to implement any 
"rwatch" command in the future, since the rwatch will require a file or 
module specification.
