Sometimes I run commands to walk down the filesystem and do things to
the files in them. With CVS this was never a problem, never a false
hit, because CVS did not keep a pristine copy of the database around.
Except sometimes in the CVS/Base directory. :)
I do that also, but I am also careful to prune repository
directories (CVS, .svn or SCCS even). I rather doubt it is my RAM,
BTW. Perhaps a disk sector, but I'll never know now. (Were it RAM,
the failure would be random and not just the one file.) The original
data were rm-ed and replaced with a new pull of the Ada code.
I have no idea if this is possibly the type of thing that happened to
you or not.
In any event, since my GCC work is constrained to fixincludes, I have
no need of recursive mass edits, so I haven't used the technique with
that code. Especially one that would miscapitalize a sentence. :)
Thanks - Bruce
