I have a production CVS repository that is a number of years old and have noticed that it has comma-v files with the same name in both Attic and in the actual directory for a given location. This appears to be an error.
My question is how can this occur in the first place and what will CVS do when duplicate files exist.
My guess (hope) is that it will ignore the Attic version all the time when there is a non Attic version. Can anyone confirm if CVS behaves well all the time for this situation.
Incidentally, this error was flagged by cvs2svn as I'm in the process of getting into a "newer" source control system.
