Hi H.J.

When I check out gdb using CVS, via this,
(as recommended here http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current/)

    cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co gdb

That created a single directory named "src/", containing no
top level files:

    $ ls src
    CVS/  config/  etc/  include/  libdecnumber/  opcodes/   sim/
    bfd/  cpu/     gdb/  intl/     libiberty/     readline/  texinfo/

This suggests that something is wrong with CVS.

Has someone been changing the modules file that
describes what you get when you check out gdb from CVS?

Is there a better way to checkout from CVS?

Just to confirm, I checked it out again (same exact command, also into
a new empty directory), and this time, I got all of the expected files.

If similar things happen during the mirroring process,
that could well explain the problem.

At first, I suspected the recent changes in my mirroring script
to mirror binutils to git, but for the problem to date
back to Sept 16, I now wonder if it's something else.

I'm investigating...
