yup, mine too.

That's why I'd never do anything live in a sup mirror.  I sup into
/var/sup, and then I "cvs import -I !" into my repository (and then run
my "'cvs rm' vendor deleted files" script).  Even if I accidentally
import an empty directory and subsequently 'cvs rm' everything I can
still undo it and work with the last import pending fixes to the sup
server.
