Package: mcvs
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: normal

"mcvs convert old new" takes a CVS project, converts it to MCVS format, and
checks it in to the "new" directory.  However, it created the plaintext files
"new/MAP", "new/TYPES" and "new/.cvsignore" instead of the RCS versions
"new/MAP,v", "new/TYPES,v" and "new/.cvsignore,v".  This means that when
you try to check out the new project, it complains about the missing MAP
file (since there's no version-tracked copy of it).

The workaround is to check out the project (to "clientnew"), copying
MAP, TYPES and .cvsignore to "clientnew/MCVS", and checking them in
directly with cvs.
