It probably has to be "first" ASCII-wise, not just listed first
on the command line, since CVS likes to sort lists of files a lot
of the time. Try making a file whose name starts with "," or
"+", "cvs add"ing that, and then committing the whole directory.
Talk about ugly!

The acronym for "the powers that be" differs by only one letter
