Did you made a copy or cvs checkin before? Then I would recommend
that you make a patch by diff -Nur or so and patch it into the
new tree. Or you can make a diff over the foundation, i.e. with
CVS from the development Repository and patch this into your
tree.

With CVS, you need the release Tags of the releases you are
useing, then try
cvs diff -u -r old_release new_release > old_new.patch

but on conflicts, this will fail, so a local Repository with your
store may be more easy, depends on your changes, since CVS marks
the conflicts in the sources.

Maybe this are just some backup files?
