RESEND Re: Strange behaviour with export

[Mike Holloway]

Hi: I sent this a week ago with no response.  I'm a newbie to the list and not 
sure how to interpret silence.  I saw a couple of resends that got response, so 
I figured waiting a week would be a good amount of time to wait.  Any input 
would be much appreciated.  Thanks.  Mike

Hi:  I'm using cvs v1.11.5 and I've noticed some odd behaviour.  If I 
execute the incantation:

cvs export -D now -d . a/b/somefile

on a local repository, I get the expected version of somefile in the 
directory I executed from.  However, if I have CVS_RSH=ssh and CVSROOT 
set to point at the exact same repository, but prefixed with 
:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: and work from another machine, the above incantation 
fails with:

[export aborted]: cannot export into a working directory.

If I replace the . with a new directory name, it works fine, as does a 
checkout.

I found something about a bug close to this at 
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2001-05/msg00040.html but I'm 
not using pserver and I was under the impression that export did not 
ever create the CVS admin directory, so I'm a bit stumped.

Can someone explain what could be happening, if its a bug, and, if so, 
is it fixed in a later version or still outstanding.

Thanks in advance for any insight provided.. Mike
