Yup.  And the copy in CVS is frequently committed several days in
advance, and only activated with a 'cvs update' when the release
is actually ready.  Since it didn't look like the release had gone
out, it appeared that the update had been done prematurely.

I fixed it within an hour of receiving the message; I mv'd them
yesterday w/o changing the permissions, which show as 775 -- so
I don't know what went wrong.  It wasn't clear from your message
that we were supposed to move them after fixing the perms.. sorry.

Yup, but see my note above about commits versus updates.

Absolutely.  Mea maxima culpa. :-(
