I assume that you don't have a HTMLGenerator file structure at this 
point, and that you use "cvs co" to get a pristine sandbox.

In that case would I suggest that you try a "cvs update" instead of the 
second "cvs co", and keep using "update" for your further updates of 
your sandbox.

Checkout is generally only used to create a CVS sandbox the first time 
and then never used again, which might explain why cvs is not pleased 
with all the files that are already there.
