That's a pretty fair summary.  CVS doesn't care if files are in the
Attic subdirectory or not.  It uses the 'dead' state in the revision
history to know the state of files.  The Attic is just left over from
and older version.  You want to enable the fix Attic code.

The code will truncate any file comments where one line is longer than
1024 bytes.  I believe this limitation is removed from the advanced
CVS import code that we offer to commercial customers...
