That's why I said "almost always" :-)

I strongly suspect that snake is hitting the "file/directory doesn't
disappear immediately when you unlink/rmdir" problem on Windows that we have
had to code around inside Postgres. It looks like cvs is trying to prune an
empty directory but isn't fast enough.

I assume that snake just uses the Msys DTK's cvs? If so, I think we'll just
have to live with this - it's not very frequent - snake's last occurrence on
HEAD was 62 days ago.
