Checking out files in the repository itself( how to better prevent )

2001-02-27 Thread Donald Sharp
The current implementation prevents via the safe_location() function ( in checkout.c ). safe_location() follows symlinks back to find the actual location. The problem that I am having is that repositories are not where they say they are due to mount issues. For Instance: One repository I

2001-02-27 Thread Rob Helmer
You can use "cvs tag -F tagname filename" to Force a tag onto whatever revision of a file you have checked out, regardless of whether that file has previous revisions with that tag. This also has the effect of removing the tag from the previous revision. On Tue, Feb 27, 2001 at 06:24:22PM

Multiple root pserver access strangeness

2001-02-27 Thread Nathan Herring
I'm running RedHat 7 Linux with the cvs installed in it (1.10.8). I have multiple roots supported with pserver access. However, it seems that the pserver only looks at CVSROOT/passwd file for the first root to determine access rights for any of the roots it supports. Is this by design, or have
