Ok, in order to resolve my template issues, i set up my local CVS client and server...i am quiet a newbie at that, so please bear with me. In order to populate my new repository i tried importing already existing directories, but after a check out every time i'd try to commit changes to a file *from the imported directory* i'd get cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file c:\cvsroot/usr/local/bin/,lcl.txt, to c:\cvsroot/usr/local/bin/lcl.txt,v: File exists i figured it's probably an issue with import, so i've imported an empty directory structure and tried adding files. The first commit went fine, and my revision # went up to 1.2. However, when i've edited the same file again and tried commiting the changes i got the same: cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file c:\cvsroot/usr/local/bin/,lcl.txt, to c:\cvsroot/usr/local/bin/lcl.txt,v: File exists error message. Does anybody understand what's going on? i am running 1.1b15 client and nt server...my root is c:/cvsroot...preferences configured to use CVS-1.10(NT server) and Local mounted directory... TIA, Julia
