Are the files *supposed* to be live or dead? If they're supposed
to be live, just move the ,v files out of the Attic:
cd $CVSROOT/.../Attic
mv foo,v ..
Make sure you're not clobbering an existing ../foo,v of course.
If they're supposed to be dead, do the above, then redelete them:
cd <sandbox>/...
cvs update foo
cvs rm -f foo
cvs ci foo

Possibly, but I doubt it. CVS's data structures are corrupt, so
I doubt CVS can fix it. Fortunately, it's a benign sort of
corruption that's easily fixed by means external to CVS :-)
