----- END SESSION LOG -----
The checkout fails completely as mcvs removes the directory /tmp/t and
its content. This makes mcvs unusable when LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. I can
only check out, diff, and generally work with mcvs when LANG=C or
LANG=fr. Changing the locale every time I invoke mcvs on the command
line is not a solution; it is a problem.
Meta-CVS should recognise that the encoding is UTF-8, and use that.
