Probably nothing.  I agree, CVS can be pretty counter intuitive.

CVS should see that the directory is on a branch and remember to add new 
files to that same branch.  There were definitly bugs on this (I 
remember being tripped my self a few years back and that led to a bug 
fix).  You're sequence likely ticked another of them and sccrambled the 
contents of the CVS directory.

All I did was:

	cvs add foo
	cvs commit

in my 5.1 tree.

M'kay.

Ok.
