Do you really need a directory in CVS named bsdmake-1.0.orig?

BSD make keeps evolving and I presume you intend to be tracking this.
Putting version numbers into directory names may not be a good idea
since you are not going to be at "1.0" for long.

With CVS you normally use a vendor branch for tracking external 
sources and keep your local changes on -HEAD.  If you do not do it this
way, much of CVS's automated merging won't work, at least not without a
lot of effort.  So this '.orig'/non-'.orig' layout appears to be working
against the way we normally use CVS, unless I've missed something.

Thats cool.

Oops.

With SF.Net CVS you do not have the ability to go and directly repair 
damage to the CVS repository.  The repository itself is off-bounds to
project developers.

One course of action would be to file a support request asking 
SF.net's CVS meisters to remove the botched import in its entirety
and then start afresh.
