Whoops!  Your directory structure is a little strange.  What you've
created looks like this:

(root of all docs)
|
...
`--- hardening/
      `--- fedora-hardening-guide-whole-en.xml/
            +--- .bashrc
            `--- hardening/
                  `--- fedora-hardening-guide-whole-en.xml

Maybe Tommy or someone can:
1.  remove .bashrc
2.  get rid of two intervening redundant directories
3.  figure out what happened, and explain it to those of us who don't
CVS constantly (numbering myself among them, of course)
4.  put clearer instructions in common/cvs-en.xml
