Hello folks.
Our CVS has been acting strange lately. Files that have been
successfully deleted from the tree still appear when using a
certain tag.
Our setup is the following ; every time we make a new release,
we tag HEAD with a new unique tag (such as "v4_3_19") and then
we tag v4_3_19 with "unstable", so that "unstable" always points
to the latest release.
The actual commands used :
cvs -q rtag -F v4_3_19 ourmodule
cvs -q rtag -r v4_3_19 -F unstable ourmodule
What we get :
cvs checkout ourmodule # OK
cvs checkout -r v4_3_19 ourmodule # OK
cvs checkout -r unstable ourmodule # Checks out the deleted files !
Looking in our CVS tree, I've noticed that some deleted files
are both in somedir/Attic and in somedir/CVS/fileattr. Is this
normal ? Could this be the cause ?

Write yourself a threatening letter and pen a defiant reply.
