If you're running the server on Windows check for dead cvs processes on it ( you'll need to run some sort of scheduled kill task to remove them - take a look at http://devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm#maintenance).
Also, make sure your %TEMP% and %TMP% variables are set up - the only times I've had the 'File Exists' error is when there's a file in the cvs temp directory that cannot be deleted. hth Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 July 2002 02:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cvsnt] Help needed with Creating a Branch "Bobafett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to create a branch so i can commit changes to my code.

I have been using the command-line CVS, but another user has been using WinCVS. Known Facts: - the contents of the repo version seem fine, AFAIK. - the file seems to have gone bad after version 1.4; the first 4 versions worked hunky-dory - at the time of the problem, the file in question was the only one in the project with the readonly bit _NOT_ set; setting this bit results in the next repo action (I used a tag) returning "end of file from server", and a subsequent tag again returning "cannot rename file ... File exists". Any thoughts? Anybody?
