Removing unrecognized files from the cvs repository

[rnanca]

Hi,

When I issue a cvs co command I get the following message:

"nothing known about com/source/file_writer.cfg"

Upon further investigation here are the following facts:

-the file was not checked out
-the file does exist in the CVS repository but does not contain any
versioning information ie)
     head         ;
     access    ;
                symbols  ;
                locks        ;    strict    ;
     comment  @#    @ ;


     desc
     @@

What would cause this to happen? Secondly how would I get rid of it from
the repository?

Thanks
RN
