That's the same here, also with -d:ext:frank@cvs.debian.org. However,
the experimental branch is still there in ViewCVS, and if I do a "cvs
update" in an older checkout, it is not reverted to unstable. However,
there is an error message:
cvs server: Updating .

Maybe the rules change was something Julian did against the endless loop
problem, but in Copyright.Files there's something amiss (but that may be
here).

Yes, that's essentially a CVS bug^Wfeature. cvs update -P cleans them
away.
