It's not intentional, but I don't know how to prevent this from 
happening.  The problems seems to be that, once a directory exists on 
the trunk, it will exist on the branches as well.

The branch version of make-dist makes sure the lispref directory is not 
present in the tarball, so the lack of Makefile's doesn't matter for the 
users.

If someone can tell how to persuade CVS not to make lispref visible on 
the branch, I'd be grateful.
