Yes, I known about this problem. The .deps directory must be
removed from the CVS, because it contains cached files. We must
remove every of the *.Plo files and after that we must update
and checkout with the -P option (prune option, this remove
directories that are empty after being updated). I have this on
my ~/.cvsrc:

-z3
update -dP
rdiff -u
diff -ubBwpN
checkout -P

This makes life better :-)

If you want to make the release, don't worry about the CVS for
now, just 'make dist' on your working copy, then untarred, then 
configure/compile/install the fresh directory, and if everything
works well the release is ready. I have checked this way and
it works.
