pcl-cvs not updating file status after an "add"

[Maciej Kalisiak]

Something seems to have changed in PCL-CVS that comes bundled with GNU Emacs.
With Emacs 21, when I run "cvs-update", and add an "Unknown" file to the repo
with "a", it's displayed status does *not* change (to "Added"); in fact, it
seems pcl-cvs' still thinks the file is unknown, because subsequently trying to
commit the file gives "`commit' is not applicable to any of the selected
files."  I have to redo "cvs-update" for pcl-cvs to pick up this change.  This
used to work fine before.  This behaviour persists even when I run as "emacs
-q", so it can't be my configuration.  I'm using the latest .deb emacs package
from Debian.

NOTE: doing an "add" on an Unknown directory works fine, and does update the
file listing.

Just some more info that might be of use in reproducing this: I'm using CVS
version 1.11.2 (as I suspect pcl-cvs parses cvs output and may be sensitive to
its syntax).  Also, I've just noticed that the same problem occurs when I try
"removing" files from the repository (i.e., status of file not updated).

Have you changed anything else ?  Like your .cvsrc file maybe ?
Can you show us the "*cvs*" and the " *cvs-tmp*" buffers right
after the `a' command ?
