files in CVSROOT

[Arcin Bozkurt - Archie]

the CVSROOT directory contains the following type of files:
.#checkoutlist
checkoutlist
checkoutlist,v

the same is true for all the other files like modules, taginfo, loginfo 
etc.etc... (the all have .# and ,v versions)

there is also an Attic/ which hold a file named
commit-action,v

these are left from the probably the old admin who were managing CVS. I 
believe some of these files are not necessary (.#  versions for example 
?? ).

Can you help me to identify which files are necessary??
the ",v" versions does make sense to control these administrative files 
under CVS. Is that right? If so, how can I checkout these administrative 
files, make modifications and check them back in??

Thank you.
