Anybody know why I get these lock file write errors? I'm getting them
on lots of files, preventing me from creating new tags. System Admin
at my company says it is because the troublesome filenames and
directory names all start with an underscore ('_'). Looking for
confirmation of this fact.
Also, if true, then why did cvs allow me to add the files/dirs to
the repository in the first place? :^(
Not only am I unable to add a tag to the file, but I also cannot
REMOVE it! That is REALLY frustrating, because any recursive cvs
command now aborts upon processing one of these bad files.

I logged into cvshome and checked the repository files. Nothing seems
wrong to me:
