 Shit happens---for some reason CVS doesn't believe those files are
 from CVS.  Take a look at their entries in CVS/Entries.  It's
 possible that you somehow got a broken update and Entries did not
 get updated, or disk full and it got truncated, or some such.
 
 These are binary files, so I can't imagine you've edited them,
 except by accident.  It is safe to delete (or move) the ones you've
 got and reupdate. 
Something else fishy is going on here.
For some reason, I have xemacs-packages under cvs.  BUT, I am NOT
using xemacs cvs repository.  When I update packages, I check in and
tag the new package.  My repository lives on a sun box.  Then I go to
my home windows/cygwin machine and do a cvs update from my repository.
This lets me have the same editor environment everywhere.  
Anyway,  After doing update a couple of times I get:
cvs update: move away html/jde-ug/images/JdeMenu.gif; it is in the way
C html/jde-ug/images/JdeMenu.gif
cvs update: move away html/jde-ug/images/Keybindings.gif; it is in the way
C html/jde-ug/images/Keybindings.gif
If I update just the .gif file by itself nothing happens, but if I
update the directory, then there are two files with conflicts.

cvs update: move away html/jde-ug/images/jdemenu.gif; it is in the way
C html/jde-ug/images/jdemenu.gif
The files have not been edited and they are both binary.
