CVS Questions

I've recently started playing with CVS on my Linux server and have put 
my latest website in it. I added an images directory to cvs and 
committed it and then added the images within it. When looking at the 
cvs repository, the new directory - images/ - is there populated by my 
images. But there's also an Attic/ directory there too. I didn't see 
anything in the CVS commands responses that indicated creating the 
directory, but I may have inadvertantly put it there when adding the 
images directory didn't produce the response I was looking for and I 
repeated the add and commit commands. Could Attic be a type of backup or 
something? I don't see any record of it in the repository, and the 
images in it are of an earlier time than the images in the proper images 
directory. Using cvs remove doesn't work - can I just delete it?

Cheers,
Mike
