Hi,
I have a problem with CVS. I have a repository located on a Suse Linux
server (CVS version XX) and am checking out code onto a Solaris 9 server
(CVS version XX). My module has the following file structure :-
Module/dir1/file
Module/dir1/subdir1/files
Module/dir1/subdir2/files
Module/dir1/subdir3/files
Module/dir2/subdir4/files
(i.e. there is nothing in dir2 except the subdirectory, although the
subdirectory itself contains several files).
When I perform a clean checkout of the module into a fresh working area
(using cvs co Module) I get all of the files correctly. However, if I
change any of the files in Module/dir2/subdir4 a call to cvs status does not
show that these files have been changed. They also do not take on tags
after check-in.
A quick investigation has uncovered that the CVS/Entries file under dir2
just contains D indicating no sub-directories so I assume this is where the
problem lies. What I don't know is how to fix this. I don't imagine that I
can change the Entries file itself since this is generated as part of the
checkout, so is there a bug in CVS that I can get a fix for, or is there
another file in the repository itself that I can change to fix this problem?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
