Yeah, but I've got -P too.  I had a checkout from the old repository up
until a few days ago when I switched the roots without doing a fresh
checkout.  That may have caused the entry for the dir to be left in the
Entries file incorrectly, but I don't think it should have.  Which means
if I ever manage to duplicate it I  should probably fix it.  :)
