===================

under some circumstances the CVS FS doesn't display file's statuses.
It means in some foleders their files have "annotate name" -> information
about statuses like this:
file_name[status; revison_nu]

but in some dirs and their files isn't displayed any info.
Just only iconbadging works, but annotation name doesn't

files look like this:
file_name

that is realy all, no status info:-(

I found reproductable procedure, and it is somehow related to
the module's definition which you checked out:
------------------------------------------

1.Mount Emty CVS FS(command-line is the best, but throubles has all supported  
FSs). Here is its configuration:
  pserver:fortecvs
  repositoryy:/forte4j
2.Checkout those modules:
  jellytools qa testtools
3.Browse your checkeout dir structure and check those folders and subfolders:
 testools/xtest
 testools/tonga
 testools/script,.....jemmy

and the same folders and others are under folder:
 qa/

the one dir of small amount folders where stauses appeare is:
 jellytools/


 qa/jemmy/...
---------------------------------------------------
And that is. No Refresh (Rec.) dosn't help on folders
and on files are disbled those action:
Refresh+ Rec.
commit
add


but if you look into history of commands you see correctly recognized info abou
revisions,etc.
Also if you perform log, or status command on those files,dirs
they provide actual and right info (comparable  with output from cmd line)
