Getting back to my original issue here: I did an update -d but
the Entries file remains the same. When I checkout to a clean
area, I get a full Entries file. Is there something else I have
to do to sync the Entries files up? With the partial file, the
other commands run from that root directory

I'm not sure. Maybe someone can help explain to me how I ended up
