I did! But you don't expect me to spend *hours* analyzing your mail,
trying to figure out what you mean?

I clearly mentioned what exactly I don't understand in your description.
And it wasn't in a "step-by-step" manner (because I'm absolutely *sure*
you missed a lot of steps in between - otherwise what you described
could never happen: without executing a command, just by simple
*waiting* it's simply not possible that suddenly CVS folders appear out
of nowhere). And it wasn't "easily reproduced" either.

Nice. Instead of writing a mail, complaining about me you could have
instead reworded your mail, tried to describe the problem better. But
no, you'd rather complain.

Ok, so I'll send this answer to the mailing list as a warning to others:
Don't get upset if someone tells you that you have to put more effort
into a mail asking for help. Instead, just *do* it: describe the problem
so other can understand it and don't have to guess or use a crystal ball
to find out.
