Maurice, thanks for keeping a sharp eye on this. Indeed, missing Attic files in our CVS repository would be a tremendous blow to preserving the history of our project. Therefore, I am hugely relieved that I _don't_ see this issue for the backup that I did of the final frozen version of our CVS repository that was used for the subversion conversion. tar ztvf plplot-cvsroot.tar.gz_20070329 |grep Attic |wc -l 1347 Maurice, it smells like you had a bad backup on March 4 (although I don't see how rsync could be that unreliable). Do you get good results if you take a cvs backup now? rsync of our frozen CVS repository should continue to work, and your results on the number of Attic'd files should be identical to mine.
