Ha Ha! I knew this could be a touchy subject. IMHO, this is progress. 
It indicates to me reaching a point where you have organized the problem 
or solution better, probably reduced much code to subroutines or 
methods, simplified the solution in a more elegant manner.  It could of 
course mean you completely misunderstood the problem and had to start 
over, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

But I think with CVS you look for change.  But you do have to be 
careful, you frequently will get a lot of whatever you measure.  So if 
you merely measures lines, then a clever and cynical person will simply 
unroll loops and subs, and generate a lot of code.
