I just converted a SourceForge CVS repo to git using cvs2svn. One directory in the result is named CVSROOT and everything would be fine, but I wan to know why gitk does not see it.

Git itself does not report it either, but it lets me "git rm -r CVSROOT" and stages the change.

I just want to know what's up with this before I commit myself to using this converted repo.
