Depending on what version of CVS you have, I expect that you will see
these.
The "-P" means that the file is patched...this is because I brought all
files in the repository up to version "9.0".
Just keep repeating the "cvs update" command after you get the "no space
left on device"; eventually you will get everything patched. I think
CVS has an internal limit, independent of how much disk space you actually
have....
See the next email for more CVS news.
