I am not new to CVS. When I say 'users', I mean future administrators who may not be aware there's a problem. I'm familiar with the sections you referenced, but my problem is not addressed there (or anywhere else I can find.) I'm not talking about normal source files, I'm talking about administration scripts used to send email notifications. The checkoutlist issue may be a red herring, for all I know, but it seemed odd. I'm trying to understand why the cvs server created a ,v file but not a normal file for certain files I checked into CVSROOT as an administrator but had no problem with other files.
