That's because they aren't.  It's the -C switch in your rsync call
that's at fault.  (And this demonstrates why comparing against checkouts

Yeah, I noticed that too. Re-running now.

/CVSROOT/commitinfo*<br/> /CVSROOT/config*<br /> /CVSROOT/passwd<br /> /CVSROOT/history<br /><br /></blockquote><br />
