Okay, it seems to have worked now. Sorry to have wasted your time. 
 Ar an triochadú lá de mí Méan Fómhair, scríobh Aidan Kehoe: 
 In the course of updating the carbon2 branch, I find I can commit
changes in
 the subdirectories, but not at top level: 
 
 bonbon  [ cvs commit -m 'Repeating the last commit, to catch top-level files'
.cvsignore CHANGES-beta COPYING ChangeLog INSTALL Makefile.in.in PROBLEMS README
aclocal.m4 config.guess config.sub configure configure.ac version.sh
 **** Access denied: Insufficient Karma (|XEmacs/xemacs)
 cvs server: Pre-commit check failed
 cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!
 bonbon  [ 
 
 I’m trying again with another checkout, but can anyone suggest a reason for
 this?

 assumed to be mad, though it may only have been indiscriminating. (Saki)
