 I assumed there were no dot files in the top-level directory.
 
+Beware that if the top-level directory contains files, those will not
+be erasable. This is due to our CVS permissions layout. The
+introduction of GNU Arch (and the loss of repository control) will
+introduce numerous changes, that will also fix this issue.
