First off, in my first message I just copied-and-pasted the output of
"cvs version" Both client and server are running build 2382. Sorry about
that.
Sorry, Tony, I have to disagree with you. This is a bug.
My CVSROOT\loginfo file contains the line
cvs-test cmd /C dir
Please examine the following from my command prompt:

You will note that only first and fourth commits (temporary directories
cvs-serv1964 and cvs-serv2448 respectively) show the file hhh.txt. These
two commits correspond to the versions that did not have a $Id$ keyword.
The other two commits, with the keyword, did not copy the file into the
temporary directory, even though there was a significant change. Unless
your definition of "significant change" is different from mine :=)
