 15 Special Files
 ****************
 
 In normal circumstances, CVS works only with regular files.  Every file
 in a project is assumed to be persistent; it must be possible to open,
 read and close them; and so on.  CVS also ignores file permissions and
 ownerships, leaving such issues to be resolved by the developer at
 installation time.  In other words, it is not possible to "check in" a
 device into a repository; if the device file cannot be opened, CVS will
 refuse to handle it.  Files also lose their ownerships and permissions
 during repository transactions.
