Yeah, I know. :-(   I'm spoiled...on the CVS system I use at work, I have root
on the server, so when something like this happens, I can zap the directory in
the repository and reimport.

I'm able to make CVS do what I want most of the time, and I've bought the Karl
Fogel book on the subject to learn more, but I'm unfortunately not yet an
expert. It's embarrassing to make a mistake like this in such a public venue.
