The message arises when the information in the CVS/Entries* file(s) have
an entry for 'filename' and 'filename is not in the current directory.

Correct.

Filesystem corruption? Someone else removed the file? Some process
removed the file?
> Am I to be worried about the state of the repository?
No, the repository state is unrelated to the state of the users local
CVS/* files.

You should be able to use the source to cvs to prove what happens. The
src/classify.c file in the Classify_File function is where the message
is generated. Look at the code yourself and see if you can find any
other way to get the message you have seen.
