They're part of the access control system on cvsnt.  If you delete them
it'll just put them back.

It's not generally a good idea to use :local: over a network share - you
get locking issues.  It's especially not a good idea to use cvsnt locally
to a repository shared with a standard CVS server - at the moment the
repositories are compatible but that can (and will, probably) change.

It's much better to use pserver or ssh/rsh to the unix server, which is
guaranteed to remain compatible.
