One not-so-obvious cause for this error occurred with my development team not too many days ago. We are developing a PHP-driven website using CVS for versioning. I develop on an Apache server running on Linux, and another team member develops on Windows/IIS. The other day she started getting the error you're talking about. Since she didn't have any uncommitted changes, we dropped the module out of her sandbox completely and re-checked it out. Still got the same error. I went to my sandbox and did the same thing without any problems. Turns out that on my sandbox I had created a new file that had the same name as another file with a different case. For example, the repository contained "button.gif" and I had added a file called "Button.gif". Of course on Linux this is perfectly legal so I wasn't aware there was a problem. On Windows as soon as the CVS client tried to create "Button.gif" Windows said "that file is already here". Anyway, to fix I renamed the file (obviously). This may not have anything to do with what you are doing but I thought I'd share just in case. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
