The problem is that working copies have CVS/ subdirectories with metadata that is based on the layout of the repository at the time of the checkout. If you remodel the repository you have to hunt down all those working copies and edit the metadata to match (not recommended). The path of least resistance is to wipe out the working copies and obtain fresh ones after the reorganization, as you do. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can no longer recreate old releases that predate the reorg. If you try, they will come out under the new layout. This is a show-stopper if you are still supporting old releases. -- pa at panix dot com _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
