I don't think there's anything wrong with your *repository*, especially
since you were able to do a new checkout without anything suspicious
happening.  I think what happened is that the CVS/Entries file in your
working directory had an entry for a file that no longer existed and
that was confusing things.

They're already there -- look for the CVS_CLIENT_LOG environment
variable in the manual.

What, exactly, was the problem you were having that prompted that
change?  While the above is a reasonable workaround, it is not the
correct solution to the problem.
