I did it several times before  sending the last e-mail: even a fresh
checkout  doesn't  retrieve any  file.   Nevertheless,  the CVS  web
interface still shows _all_ the files, even if they should be in the
Attic (since they are marked as "removed").

You can see it on:

    http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/dunac/dunac/

If you want to try a checkout:

    CVSROOT=pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dunac

Ok, I paste here the last e-mail I sent, to explain the problem.

Regards, and thanks for your patience,

The directories of the project are now placed correctly.  Thanks.

Unfortunately, it  seems that there are some  inconsistencies in the
repository:  all the  files  are  marked as  "removed"  (In fact,  I
removed them before  sending you the first e-mail)  --- but actually
they are visible  in the CVS web interface (instead  of being in the
`Attic').  On  the other  hand, if  I try to  checkout they  are not
retrieved.

The $CVSROOT is:

    address@hidden:/cvsroot/dunac/

I  really  don't want  you  to  put too  much  efforts  to solve  my
problems, since it could me more  tiring for you than for me (I only
have  to   issue  a   `cvs  import'  to   send  a  source   tree  on
subversions.gnu.org).

So, I think that  an `rm -rf' on the repository (to  reset it in its
initial state) would be sufficient to make me stop pestering you :-)

Regards, and thanks a lot,

Alceste
