You have downloaded a CVS snapshot, I guess it contains the CVS control files on purpose. I believe that the CVS snapshots are autocreated by common-lisp.net, so I doubt we'd be able to do much about it.
IMO, then the sentence "A compressed tar file of the sources is made nightly." on the webpage is misleading and should instead be something like: "Here is a backup of the entire CVS repository."
I'll just checkout via cvs.
Thanks, Stefan
