Look very carefully at how the log.pl script works -- it runs the command in the *current directory*, not the repository. The current directory is always a valid working directory (the user's working directory in local mode, a server-side copy in client/server mode). It also uses the global -n flag to allow the command to work despite the existing lock on the file. -Larry Jones I obey the letter of the law, if not the spirit. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
