corrupted CVS/Entries on checkout? |

bonjour `a tous,
i have noticed that upon 'cvs checkout' the CVS/Entries file is not
properly created, leaving a trailing 'D' in the file, as it appears
to try to list the directories in the current directory (none
actually get included in the file). interestingly CVS/Entries.Log
exists and contains 'A' (add) entries for the directories within.
for some reason, 'cvs update' will fix this problem by recreating a
proper list in CVS/Entries. while it may seem like this is a non-
problem since there is a workaround, it is an indicator that some-
thing is going wrong with the server or client cvs. that and LinCVS
won't work with it because the CVS/Entries are corrupted ;) (until
'cvs update'). i should note that the checkout is made manually and
not by LinCVS, since i brought it up...
the CVS/Entries.Log file no longer exists after the 'cvs update'. does
anyone have the remotest idea of what is going on here?
before 'cvs update':
