I had to bring old archives in a repository. Between 2 versions, I can have
a lot of deleted files. In this case, I make a cvs remove on the module,
cvs commit, push the new version and readding these files. But, when I
commit this updated sandbox, on some files (modified ones, binaries or
ascii), the kopt in CVS/Entries become strange.
But, when I force files in binary (for ascii ones; both ascii and binaries
files could be corrupted), the next commit make this:

"commit" "-m" "" "TP/STB100/NULL" "TP/STB100/OFFSET" [... many other
files...] "TP/TURBO.TPL"

Checking in TP/STB100/NULL;
Succès : opération CVS terminée
The corruption is now corrected: the commit ends successfully and theses
errors will not reappear (only on binaries: ascii files keep the corruption
visible).
When the commit fails, I edit 'entries' file to put a corrected option (-kb
for all corruptions: -kv or -kkv are overwritten by the commit with the bad
extension)
I test on 2 different servers (win2k on a desktop PC, and a 2003 on the
real server): this can't be a hardware/driver problem.
In "C:\travailCVS\tentative bug\TP\STB100\CVS\entries" there is an example
of corruption:
[...]

1.2 is the cvs remove of the whole module.
Is there a bad use of my repository, or is it a hidden feature on reborn
files? ;)
(here, this test was made on our real server, a 2.5.01 build 1969 on a 2003
server, french edition)
