Hi
A file having its extension in capital letters, image_cust1.JPG, was
accidentally deleted by a user, instead of, being renamed to image_cust1.cap.
I am the CVS Admin and have direct ssh access to the linux Repository server
and our users including myself, use WinCVS and Windows commandline to access
CVS.
I CD'd to the subfolder where the file was deleted and ran the following
commands from a DOS prompt
(in the first command, should the file before (greaterThanSign) > be
image_cust1.JPG or .jpg or does it matter?)
C:\MyCVS\images>cvs -Q update -p -r 1.1 image_cust1.JPG > image_cust1.jpg
C:\MyCVS\images>cvs add -kb image_cust1.jpgcvs server: image_cust1.jpg has
already been entered
C:\MyCVS\images>cvs ci -m "revived jpg image" image_cust1.jpgcvs server: cannot
add file `image_cust1.jpg' when RCS file `/repo/images/image_cust1.jpg,v'
already existscvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!
C:\MyCVS\images>cvs updatecvs server: Updating .A image_cust1.jpg
C:\MyCVS\images>
As you can see, when I do an update, I see the file pending with an ADD status
but committing it will cause an error. Any ideas or help please.
