7/07    CVS gurus, what's the deal here:  cvs update on one of my boxes
        is not getting "added" files.  It still get updates from files that
        are commited and changed, just not newly added (and commited) files.
        But it gets worse:  another box, running the same version of CVS DOES
        get the newly added files.  ARG!  What could possibly be causing this?
        \_ Did you check out an older branch of the code at some point?  If
           so, CVS will try to stay on the old branch and not get new updates.
           To get back to the newest branch you have to clear the sticky
           tag or something.  I think cvs update -A does that.  -emin
        \_ Also, if there are new directories that are not appearing,
           use "update -d" to get those.  --scotsman
