Yes, that's one of the reasons why I tag the releases.

Ooops. This seems to only happen for the public CVS server. The
development server doesn't do it.

Petter, can this be changed?

My book about CVS tells me that this is abug in CVS and a workaround
is to chnage the owner to the one cvs runs as (changing permissions
only is not enough) or to remove the file. I don't know if this is an
option.
