Re: cvs update: move away xyz; it is in the way

[Chad Loder]

Gary,

This is not the case. Yesterday, I blew away my sandbox (including all
the CVS/ subdirectories) and did a fresh cvs update. Today, having not
touched any of the source files, I do an update and get the messages
I described.

Now, changes maybe HAVE been made to the repository by other
developers since yesterday's "clean" update, but not by me.

Would it be worth trying to correlate these possible repository
changes with what I'm seeing? I'd have to hunt down the logs on the
server...
