Re: corrupted CVS/Entries on checkout?

a couple things to add:

for clarity's sake, i'll note that this corrupted CVS/Entries
issue is with *all* CVS/Entries files.  also, directories with
no files/subdirs have a single 'D' being the entire contents of
their CVS/Entries.

perhaps i should note also that LinCVS still won't add it to the
'workbench' after the obstensible 'fix' by the 'cvs update'.  this
isn't a direct CVS issue, but perhaps it indicates that there is
still something wrong with the checkout.  ignore all this LinCVS
info if it isn't useful--the problem is with cvs itself.
