I won't answer the other questions because they were already
answered.  The subject question, though..


The "Attic" is the directory where deleted files are moved.

This is necessary, since a soruce code control system can be
used to create the current version of the software... or the
software from last month, where there used to be a seperate
"ftp.c" instead of "a magic Makefile"... or the software as
as it existed for the 3.1-RELEASE.

For this to work, it has to be able to access instances of
files which have been deleted or moved... so it looks in the
directory where the files should be, except in the "Attic"
subdirectory.

You should really read the CVS FAQ...
