some strange bug then. i'm no expert on cvs, and i know that it does create
directories that it then removes, but usually it shows me the unknown files
BEFORE doing updates. sometimes these don't get fixed because they are hard
to track down. i've had my share of odd bugs in the day. nothing seems to
have gone seriously wrong, so it mostly good.
