Ok, I've thought this upside down and inside out.

First, anyone with an old checkout is already broken by the httpd-docs-1.3 
split,
so that's a dead issue, we don't have to consider that.

Second, co without -P is broken, and with -P, we still have the following issue:

cvs co -P apache-1.3   >> checks out apache, and sub-checks-out htdocs from 
httpd-docs-1.3

cvs co -P apache-1.3   >> looks at apache-1.3/htdocs/, sees it exists in 
apache-1.3/htdocs/,
                          notes that the files don't match, and DIES!

So, is there any sane reason not to rm -rf /home/cvs/apache-1.3/htdocs right 
now???

Anyone checking out back to version 1.2 will get a successful checkout, since 
the htdocs
sub-module has the version history.  And there is no 'version' on the 
sub-module checkout
schema change.

Without an objection by Thursday, I'll ask root to do so, if I don't succeed 
myself.

[Before we raise the issue of putting it back in the original tree, drop it.  
It is a
seperate argument over the location of the 'one true htdocs', and I'm not 
concerned with
that argument.  It doesn't affect the issue that this dead htdocs tree doesn't 
belong in
the repository under apache-1.3 as things stand today.]
