Re: PCL-CVS: commit updates the wrong lines

Please check your version of CVS (including the CVS executable on the
server).  Recent CVS (IIRC 1.12.X) output a different message, and in some
intermediate releases it was not only different but ambiguous making it
impossible/difficult for PCL-CVS to tell whether you committed `foo.include'
or `titi/foo.include'.

If you're using cvs-1.12.X, please update to the most recent 1.12.X and
try again.

Otherwise, please show me the contents of the hidden " *cvs-tmp*" buffer
right after the commit finishes.
