We are using CVS in a Windows environment (server running under cygwin, client is usually WinCVS). CVS is managing our source code and assorted binaries just fine, but any Word document checked out in CVS when opened yields the error message "The document name or path is not valid." These files originally existed outside of CVS, so I have good copies of everything.
I've already checked the obvious, and the files are marked as "-kb" (binaries) in CVS. Other symptoms of note: - if I do a diff between a good file and a bad file, CVS says the files match (don't know how well CVS does diffs on binaries, though) - if I do an update on a good file, the good file does not get corrupted (though if I delete the good file and then do an update, the update is corrupted) - if I inspect both a good file and a bad file using Notepad, the files appear identical except for a short stretch of 20-30 additional characters almost at the end of the bad file that show up as blank in Notepad. I found the thread at http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2003-10/msg00020.html that seemed to deal with the same problem that we've been having, but adding "tty binmode" to the cygwin environment variable and then rebooting has not improved the situation. Any help with this issue would be appreciated. - Kevin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
