Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.9-4
Severity: normal
Darn, reportbug seems to fail when using a en_US@ISO-8859-15 locale.
Anyway, here is the original bug against cvs:
Basically I had created a folder 'foo' in a cvs repository,
then removed it later because it didn't suit me.
(Yes I know, directory removal in cvs is not a real remove...)
Then if I do
$ touch foo
$ cvs update
cvs [update aborted]: could not chdir to foo: Not a directory
Of course the W/A is to remove the file 'foo' before_doing
an update, but this is really painful, because:
I can't fix the repository (hosted at sourceforge),
and this has happened for two things (yes, I'm sometimes really dumb :-P):
- a folder named 'core' in a source folder...
- a folder which has the name of a generated executable target
I could try to make a patch if you want; sorry I didn't find a way to
log bugs at cvshome.org.
Cheers

Hi,
this is not a bug, this is expected behaviour. You cannot have a
file and a directory occupying the same place in your filesystem
after all.
