User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007121605 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0b3pre) Build Identifier: I was diffing the Camino trunk, and by accident I found a couple of hidden files that obviously are some kind of backup copies or similar. The locations are: mozilla/camino/src/preferences/.#PreferenceManager.h.1.22 mozilla/camino/src/preferences/.#PreferenceManager.mm.1.85 Reproducible: Always
These are garbage related to cvs downloading updates when cvs update brings you new versions. They don't live in the repository at all and should not return when you delete them and cvs up again. I'm not sure the exact circumstances that cause them to appear, but they're local and harmless (except for disk space).

I think you get them when CVS merges one of your locally changed files with an updated version in the repository.
