Hi Guys!

All we wanted to do was to make our branch "b-LCG2" to be the default one, but
now what happens to files, that are only on the b-LCG2 branch is this:

$ cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.9 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.9 (client/server)


$ cvs up -dP ng_rpmlist
[...]
(my file (RAS-CG-rpm) is not here)
[...]

$ cd ng_rpmlist/
$ cvs status RAS-CG-rpm.h
cvs status: nothing known about `RAS-CG-rpm.h'
