Yeah,
I asked and was never answered. AFAICT the problem comes up if you
check out a module to a shortened path. Say that you have a sandbox
and now you want to check out a different module as a subdirectory in
it:
cvs co -d Charlie Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie
This will get you the contents of the Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie
folder into a folder with the name Charlie in the current sandbox.
This structure seems to make the messages mentioned pop up at various
times. I don't have a full analysis on these cases since I just moved
on at the time, though....
