Several months ago we removed a file from the CVS tree, and now we are
trying to check a file with the same name back in again.

cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
I had the same error on a SourceForge repository with a file called
Makefile and posted here a request for help. Christian Brechbuehler
<address@hidden> answered my question with the following:

Since I do not have access to the SourceForge CVS I had to ask SourceForge
support for their help.
They solved the problem, but I'm not sure how.
That's all I know.
Any additional info is welcome, since I run once again into the same
problem, so I guess there must be something more (e.g. problem with
lowercase/uppercase file name using WinCVS client and Unix CVS server)
