I'm guessing this is related to http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/faq.html#atticprob and is caused by corruption in the SourceForge CVS repository that had some files in both a CVS directory and in the Attic. I don't know how this corruption occurred, but the safest route (from the perspective of preserving history) is to keep both copies of the files. That may be what happened here.
I wonder what other files are affected... I'll be happy to clean this up if we can figure out how to identify these files.
Diff the trees?
