The error message seems to indicate to me that you are trying to check out a copy of the repository and placing the checked out copy in the repository itself.

migration of CVS repositery from one machine to another
Hi all, We need to migrate CVS repositery from one HP-UX machine to another HP-UX machine. We are using cvs-1.11.1p1. For that I need to install that version on second machine. Now my queries are: 1. Where can I find the cvs-1.11.1p1 installable(binary) on HP-UX. 2. what are the steps involved in migration of whole data from one machine to another. I dont want any change in the tags and history. thanx in advance regards Ravish ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Removing Without Committing
I checked out a sandbox, removed some files then changed my mind. I deleted the sandbox from my file system and did another fresh checkout to undo that remove. There was no commit but there was no re-add either. Remove says it schedules removal so does that mean the repository still thinks there is a pending removal? ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

Re: Removing Without Committing
Rod, Information about pending removals (or modifications, for that matter) is not stored in the repository. It is stored in the CVS/Entries file in your sandbox directory. If you completely removed your sandbox then there is no leftover indication that the file is scheduled for removal. You can verify this by using 'cvs status file'. It should report 'Up-to-date' for the file. I'd just do a 'cvs add file' to restore the removed file. Rod Macpherson wrote: I checked out a sandbox, removed some files then changed my mind.

Re: migration of CVS repositery from one machine to another
Hi Todd, thanx for the information. But here is still a problem. The setup for cvs-1.11.1p1 is not available on the link you have specified. can you please give any other link where I can find that binary. Also please tell me if I need to do version upgrade which version is the best to install. and will there be any issues related to version upgrade of CVS. regards Ravish On 6/13/05, Todd Denniston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ravish agarwal wrote: Hi all, We need to migrate CVS repositery from one HP-UX machine to another HP-UX machine.

passphrase and WinCVS
Dear CVS users: I just have one question on the passphrase and WinCVS. I am now trying to use both WinCVS and Linux ssh to access to the CVS server. When I generate authorized_key with ssh-keygen, shall I setup a passphrase? I didnt find a place that I can input passphrase within WinCVS(version 1.3.20.3 Beta20 Build 3). Thank you so much for your suggestions. Huaer, ___ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
