You were absolutely right, the files were not correctly moved to their new
location in the CVS repository, because the ones I moved from "Attic" had a
"state: dead" flag that I should have changed to "state: Exp". You did manage
to make them all go back to "state: Exp". The only side effect I see is that
you had to create a new version of each file, just to change their state. If
you do not want to keep that information in the file's history, let me know
and I will clean up the repository as you initially asked me to. Otherwise,
you can leave it as it is.
Cheers,
