I tried to add docs/de to CVS and this updated docs/en.

I do not understand, why this happened, and I am very sorry about this.

Here is, what I did:

helmut@xp2400:~/advacs/docs$ cvs -z3 
-d:ext:wollmers-guest@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/advacs add de -m 
'add de-translation of docs'
Enter passphrase for key '/home/helmut/.ssh/id_rsa':
cvs [add aborted]: there is a version in de already

helmut@xp2400:~/advacs/docs$ cvs -z3 
-d:ext:wollmers-guest@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/advacs commit de

What did I wrong? It was the normal way I used CVS in the past, and I 
cannot find what I did wrong compared against CVS documentation.
What now?
