Was the problem fixed (no "it is in the way" messages) when you picked up
a new copy?

These .old Entries have the wrong timestamps.

I can only guess that something failed on that cvs server around Sept 1.

(In August two other NetBSD CVS servers had problems with running out of
disk space. I don't know if that is related.)

Some cvs mailing lists have had some discussion on improving that "move
away ...; it is in the way" error messages. Maybe the newer cvs code does
the right thing. You may want to ask a cvs specific mailing list.
