Bo, Tony would, as always, have the autoritative answer, but CVS might not fully distinguish between folder named "core" and a file named "core". The reason is that Unix throws filename and directory names into the same namespace. Therefore, a directory cannot have both a subdirectory and a file with the same name. CVS may be taking the simple-monded view that "core" means "core" regardless of the type of directory entry. This would be yet another example of tacit assumptions of Unix users versus Windows users. Maybe. Merrill :-)
