new files ending up with state: dead

[Tiago Antao]

Hi!

I am a CVS user for a few years now and I have stumbled on a problem that is more or less driving me mad:

When I add a new file to cvs (or update an old one) it will automatically be put in the attic, so if I do

cvs commit cr.c

I will have:
$ ls -l /ncc/cvsroot/ncc/RIP/modules/cr/
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 tiago dbase 4096 Oct 24 10:47 Attic
$ ls -l /ncc/cvsroot/ncc/RIP/modules/cr/Attic/
total 12
-r--r--r-- 1 tiago dbase 404 Oct 24 10:47 Makefile,v
-r--r--r-- 1 tiago dbase 3809 Oct 24 10:46 cr.c,v
-r--r--r-- 1 tiago dbase 1197 Oct 24 10:46 cr.h,v


cvs update doesn't work. But eg cvs diff seems to work.

If I do a log I get a strange state: dead

$ cvs log cr.c

=============================================================================

I know that other commiters might have done strange things (which I was not able to precesely identify).

I am a bit lost here, thanks in advance for any help.
