What deleted my files?

[Bernd Pol]

Hi Hendrik,

it was most likely the  'make -f admin/Makefile.common cvs-clean'  because it 
is meant to bring ***everything*** back to current CVS state, as far as I 
understand.
Also what I've learned- never do a major CVS operation (major directory/files 
operatione btw) without an update of your own files. I've more than once 
inadvertently overwritten my stuff.
