I just tried it for my self. I created a folder C:\usr\local\cvsroot using Windows explorer and then from within Bash I did the following: Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ export CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvsroot Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cvs init Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cd bin Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cvs import test me start Administrator@BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cd /tmp Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cvs checkout test cvs checkout: Updating test U test/backup.pl U test/backup.sh U test/fixperms.sh Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp$ cd test Administrator@BEDROOM:/tmp/test$ ll total 7 drwxrwxrwx 2 Administ None 4096 Nov 13 17:18 CVS -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 845 Nov 13 17:16 backup.pl -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 131 Nov 13 17:16 backup.sh -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 939 Nov 13 17:16 fixperms.sh Final silly question, if your sandbox was previously pointing to your repository at //c/usr/local/cvs have you edited your CVS/Root files to point them at the new repository at /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs? You could try recreating your CVS repository, maybe move what you currently have out of the way, do the CVS init stuff and then move your repository (but not CVSROOT directory) back. Other than that, I'm out of ideas. >Alexei > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Mark Himsley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "?.?." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 7:45 PM >Subject: Re: CVS and cygwin1.dll v1.3.4-4: Can not set CVSROOT to :local: >repository now ?! ... > > >> On Tue, 13 Nov 2001 19:07:31 +0300 you wrote: >> >> >If you look carefully at my message, then you will see that i've tried >> >`:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs' already.
