CVS has a few annoyances.  One is conflicts, another is files
getting deleted/renamed.

Sometimes I have to manually delete the file, then edit the
CVS/Entries file and remove it there.  Happens wtih directories too.

If all else fails and CVS is really confused, I sometimes delete all
files/directories except the top-level CVS directory and contents,
then do another "cvs update".  That will repopulate everything.
