General CVS advice:

  When in doubt, concern with CVS or even just the wrong day of the week
  (ie anything between Sunday and Saturday inclusive), do a fresh
  checkout, not an update.  Its saved my bacon and shorts far too many
  times to ignore.  CVS has a tendency to get these sorts of rare and
  complex operations (eg update) wrong now and then.
