I started by importing cvs v1.10 lo these many months ago into our own
CVS repository.  Now I pulled down CVS v1.10.8 and imported that onto
the vendor branch following the recommended steps.  Everything worked
fine.  Then I went to make it.

On making lib/getdate.c, it looks like that's made from lib/getdate.y. 
During make, therefore, it tried to overwrite the existing checked-in
copy of getdate.c, and asked me if I wanted to override the protection
on getdate.c.  I understand why it's doing this.

However, it strikes me that getdate.c is a generated file (after all
it's made from some combination of its previous self and a yacc file). 
If it's a generated file, why isn't there an entry for it in
lib/.cvsignore in the distribution?  Should I check in the "made" copy
of getdate.c or the getdate.c that existed before I ran make?

Cheers,
Laird
