I am not new to CVS. When I say 'users', I mean future administrators who
may not be aware there's a problem. I'm familiar with the sections you
referenced, but my problem is not addressed there (or anywhere else I can
find.) I'm not talking about normal source files, I'm talking about
administration scripts used to send email notifications. The checkoutlist
issue may be a red herring, for all I know, but it seemed odd. I'm trying to
understand why the cvs server created a ,v file but not a normal file for
certain files I checked into CVSROOT as an administrator but had no problem
with other files.
