I found one example of the file butchery and turned if off. This has got to
be one of the most obnoxious ideas I have ever seen in a system.
The way to turn it off is to add a line to
???/CVSROOT/cvswrappers
which basically turns on the -ko mode for all files added (by default).
I hope that this is ok with you and you weren't depending on the file
mangling behavior.
