I find that explanation pretty unconvincing. Why would cvs print

for such a directory?
cvs will print a ? if it doesn't know what it is... or is that svn?
yes, it's a file/directory it doesn't know about.
At one stage I suppressed these checks, but I found that too many
times we saw errors due to unclean repos. So now buildfarm insists
on having a clean repo.
I suppose I could provide a switch to turn it off ... in one recent
case the repo was genuinely not clean, though, so I am not terribly
keen on that approach - but I am open to persuasion.
Another option would be to re-run cvs up one more time if we get any
unexpected files. It sounds like that would fix this issue on windows
machines, while still ensuring we had a clean repo to work from.
