>Description:
CVSUP seems to ignore file chflags. I set a schg flag on a file to protect from being updated by cvsup, but the file still gets updated.
I'm aware of the refuse system for cvsup now, but I think this is a security bug anyway.

[Bossmc can confirm and reproduce this also]
>How-To-Repeat:
echo foo > /usr/src/sys/bar
chflags schg /usr/src/sys/bar

then run cvsup for src-all with option 'delete' and /usr/src/sys/bar will be deleted.
