Description Shawn Walker 2004-05-03 17:50:25 EDT 
Two problems:

1) I checked out neither on icculus.org using this command line:

cvs -d:ext:eviltypeguy@cvs.icculus.org:/cvs/cvsroot/neither co neither

The resulting directory it created for the checkout has these permissions:
drwxr-xr-x  4 root        users 4.0K May  3 17:36 neither

It shouldn't be owned by root, and because it is, I now have a checked out
directory I can't remove.

2) Anytime I do a cvs update for any of the projects I have checked out from
icculus cvs (such as twilight, neither, etc.), and whether using a machine at
home, at my office, or even on icculus.org itself, I get this message when I do
a "cvs update" in a checkout directory:

cvs update: ignoring . (CVS/Repository missing)
