I nuked fileattr. It seems to be ok now.

I was told once that this happened when non-fileattr-aware versions of
cvs were used to make commits. If that's the case, this will happen a
lot (which it seems to). I can't think of any reason why the client would
have to know about it, so maybe it's a bug?
Chris, when you were looking at the local hacks, did you notice anything
that would indicate the client needed support for fileattr as well?

It's only the server that matters, and we've carefully hidden away
all unpatched cvs binaries on sourceware. It's probably just a
bug - one of these incorrect fileattrs comes up every couple of
months. The cvs patch could be rewritten to unlink the fileattr
cache if there is a mismatch like this. That wouldn't be appropriate
at most sites (some other cvs server-side state can be stored in
the fileattr files), but it'd be harmless on sourceware.

The client doesn't need to know about the fileattrs patch. Only the
CVS which is modifying the actual repository.
This problem can happen if a commit is interrupted at the wrong time,
or more generally if the commit fails for some reason at the wrong
time.

Yeah, somebody was talking about a modem dying mid-commit, I believe.
