Run 'cvs update' to get the most recent files.  Always do this before any
checkins.  If you got the message, your checkin did not complete.  Run
update and then try checkin again.  Notice that during the update, if a
file says "M" in front of it, that means it merged changes from someone
else with yours, and you should examine the file to be sure it is correct
(that your changes and the other person's do not conflict).

'cvs update' does not automatically give you new directories that were
created since you checked out.  You must give the option -d, as in 'cvs
update -d'.  This will ensure that you have all subdirectories.	 It
doesn't hurt to always use update -d.
