I cannot checkout gcc CVS head anymore, I get:

/cvs/gcc/gcc:[0]$ cvs up ChangeLog
cvs [update aborted]: head attribute does not match file for 
`/cvs/gcc/gcc/gcc/ChangeLog,v'

It is a small metadata cache that is maintained by CVS.  It can get 
inconsistent, the most common cause being a network connection going 
down during a checkin.  Luckily it is easily detected and easily fixed.

... and quickly googling the error message as soon as the retried 
checkin inexorably fails :-)  I wonder why does not CVS say 
abort/continue in that case, warning and going on is plain stupid...

And strictly speaking the network connection does go down upon ^C :-)

Thanks, but, in the future, please do not remove the fileattr file.
Instead, cp /dev/null to it.

Fun fact: '> filename' is a valid Bourne shell command all by itself
and has the same effect as cp /dev/null filename.

(for slightly less obscurity, ': > filename' works too.)

  Well, if we're making smileys here, ": - > filename" also works....
