Does this cause any other problems, or does it just affect log?
The main effect is that a cvs update in that directory will not pick
up any newly added files. That will catch you by surprise after a
while, so I wouldn't recommend leaving the Entries.Static files around
forever.

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.3 (client/server)
I couldn't imagine cvs was so broken as to do what it is doing, so I concluded I was doing something wrong. Can I
sharethis email with the hackers list?
CVS is a long aggregation of hacks. Heck, the first version was a
bunch of shell scripts. Since there is no theory underlying CVS, it's
easy to get the corner cases wrong unless you test them. I would
guess that the author of the current cvs log implementation didn't
test this sort of thing. (The author in question was, um, me,
although I think I might be able to blame John Gilmore for this
particular feature.)
Yes, please go ahead and share these e-mail messages if you like.
By the way, I gather you spoke with Nathan Meyers at the free database
summit. I'm co-founder and CTO of Zembu, where he works.
