Hi, I thought I would understand CVS, but maybe I am wrong.
Today (Mon Mar 31 00:44:34 CEST 2003) I imported a new directory with html docu for avicap into avifile's CVS tree to avifile/doc/avicap Funnily, all my attempts to get this directory in my workspace via cvs -d avifile didn't work - he doesnt know about avifile/doc/avicap I also wanted to commit something, but I first tested commit with: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/source/new/avifile-cvs/avifile> cvs -n -t commit . 2>&1|tee co.log -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/avifile cvs commit: Examining . cvs commit: Examining admin [.....] S-> checkout (/cvsroot/avifile/avifile-0.6/samples/qtvidcap/vidconf.cpp,v, 1.29, , (function)) S-> checkout (/cvsroot/avifile/avifile-0.6/samples/qtvidcap/vidconf_p.cpp,v, 1.14, , (function)) S-> checkout (/cvsroot/avifile/avifile-0.6/samples/qtvidcap/vidconf_p.h,v, 1.8, , (function)) -> ParseInfo(/cvsroot/avifile/CVSROOT/commitinfo, avifile-0.6/samples/qtvidcap, ALL) Why does he wants to check in to /cvsroot/avifile/avifile-0.6 ??? I got my stuff from /cvsroot/avifile/avifile , at least I thought so? Check http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/avifile/avifile/samples/qtvidcap/ and http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/avifile/avifile-0.6/samples/qtvidcap/ for comparison. avifile-0.6 'seems' to be the new tree, avifile the old tree (source 2 years old without any changes?) The docu directory I imported is now under http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/avifile/avifile/doc/avicap/ in the old, wrong tree. But more funny stuff, make an experiment mkdir new_dir cd new_dir cvs co avifile after download, you'll find no sign of the doc/avicap dir. But now try: mkdir new_dir2 cd new_dir2 cvs co avifile/doc this time, the doc/avicap dir gets found. More fun with CVS: try mkdir new_dir3 cd new_dir3 cvs co avifile cvs co avifile-0.6 then you'll find the file timertable.cpp in BOTH trees, avifile as well as avifile-0.6 But when you go to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/avifile/avifile/samples/qtvidcap/ you'll find no trace of timertable.cpp there. I have NO idea whats going on, can you explain? Is avifile-0.6 a (soft-)link to avifile or reverse, and some apps can cope with? Or is that happening just to me? Please verify and teach me. If I don't understand what's going on, I will send you a patch so you can apply it yourself, I don't wanna break anything, and I really don't know at the moment where a commit/import might go and why. Sorry for this inconvenience <shrug> maybe today is 'dumb co-developrs' day???
