I have a repository problem (first real problem in 9 months). It is like this: In a module there are a bunch of source files, but we also have committed the exe target file (as binary). We do this routinely because we find that it is often very hard to check out the module and then set up a compiler environment capable of creating the target file. Much easier to just check out the exe to the tag we need. Anyhow, this has worked great for a long time in many modules, but now a problem has surfaced. Whenever I try to commit a new revision of this exe file WinCvs (1.2) hangs waiting for something that never happens. The fish swim and I wait forever... The only way out here is Task Manager because if I try to stop the operation with the red stop button nothing happens and if I try to close WinCvs it refuses because of the ongoing operation. In the repository where CVSNT (1.10.8) works I now find the following files: wrkctr.exe,v - size approx 4.5 Mb (this is the previous revision) ,wrkctr.exe, - size approx 5.2 Mb (probably the new revision) It looks like CVSNT is creating the ,wrkctr.exe, file as a temp file and then at the end fails to do what it needs to the original file (presumably killing it and replacing with the temp file. What is going on and what can I do to cure this? I have tried restarting the CVS service, manually moving the temp file out etc but nothing seems to help. There are no lock files in the repository to blame either. /Bo _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
