Probably nothing. I agree, CVS can be pretty counter intuitive.

CVS should see that the directory is on a branch and remember to add new
files to that same branch. There were definitly bugs on this (I
remember being tripped my self a few years back and that led to a bug
fix). You're sequence likely ticked another of them and sccrambled the
contents of the CVS directory.

All I did was:

cvs add foo
cvs commit

in my 5.1 tree.

Ok.
