Greetings:

First, a bit of Changelog to illustrate my problem:

2002-03-11 17:50  jhughes

    * dps.pc (1.71): Added store_sig_repo message for use by fa

2002-03-06 16:22  jhughes

    * dps.pc (1.70): New message: get_dispatch_list

2002-02-15 14:46  jhughes

    * dps.pc (1.69): Fixed incorrect parameter bug in calls to
    query_*() functions

My first problem is that the change in rev 1.69 has disappeared sometime 
between 1.69 and 1.71. I've posted before about code getting clobbered 
and basically been told it's human error, which I can buy, but still, 
it's mystifying how 3 successive changes by the same developer result in 
changes disappearing.

However, what's more mystifying is what happened when I tried to restore 
the change that I had made in 1.69:
doing this

cvs up -r 1.69

resulted in 6 files with the message,
*.c is no longer in the repository

And not only that, but those same files had magically disappeared from 
the working directory. Repeated updates and a fresh checkout over the 
existing directory fail to pull them down again. However, creating a new 
directory and doing a fresh 'cvs co' pulled everything down as expected.

Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?
