Hi Mike An option is to simply erase the bad ,v files from the repository and add them again from the client. This will create two new ,v files that should be sound. This will of cause nuke any history on those files including tags and branches, but I suppose you can live with that.
As always, when manipulating the repository directly: PROCEED WITH CARE! Good Luck anders -----Original Message----- From: Mike Ayers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24. juli 2002 02:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Repository troubles - expert help needed I am having serious problems, and need help. I suspect that my repository is corrupted. I would like to know what to do to fix it. As part of the project documentation, I checked in the WinCVS user's guide. This is 1 html file, wincvs11.htm, and about 60 images named Image*.jpg (numbered 1-63 with a few missing). The problem is with Image55.jpg and possibly Image56.jpg. I found that I could get logs on Image57.jpg and Image54.jpg, but not those two. I also could get logs on other randomly sampled files. It seems that any operation on the directory will fail when it gets to Image55.jpg: cvs update -P (in directory C:\dssi\cameras\cam1\tools\doc\WinCVS\) cvs update: Updating . cvs update: nothing known about Image55.jpg I am seeing a process crash (I suspect that it's the spawned CVS process) whenever I try to update the directory. After the crash, there is a new file left in the repository such as: #cvs.rfl.fluffy(mike).1208 My machine is fluffy and my username is mike. When I cd into the repository directory and `more` the files, I notice that all the files have headers: <SNIP> head 1.1; access; symbols dssi-cam1-0_3:1.1 dssi-cam1-0_2:1.1; locks; strict; comment @# @; expand @b@; 1.1 date 2002.06.25.15.30.51; author mike; state Exp; branches; next ; desc @@ 1.1 log @Cumulative update @ text </SNIP> EXCEPT Image55.jpg,v and Image56.jpg,v! I think I'm getting warm here... The real issue, though, is how to correct this problem without disturbing the rest of the repository.
