So then I can only assume that a file flagged with 'N ' will have
revision 1.1.1.1 if there is also a Vendor branch tag else it will be
1.1, whereas the files flagged with 'U ' will be in an unknown
revision state?

I have been fiddling with CVSMailer today and adding code to list the
files and folders inside the CVSNT temp dir (cvs-serv<number>), but
all I found were the imported files, no CVS subdir and no Entries
file...

This means that I will just note these as having revision ? and not
produce any ViewCvs diff links for them.
