That's for rename support in the future... best to start recording them now.

That's deliberate - I've been depreciating the attic for a while now (it's
just an anacronism from the old RCS days) - hopefully I'll be able to
remove it completely in a future revision.  CVS hasn't really needed the
attic for years - it currently just looks in both places for every file.

That's probably not a fixable problem in the short term - Windows doesn't
degrade Unicode filenames nicely and the various workarounds I've tried all
have potential compatibility issues.
