We are using WinCVS on our project and have started having a problem over
the last few week that if a conflict is detected when doing an update the
file is not highlighted as conflicting.
Scenario:
Make a change in a file, say build.xml in checkout directory # 1, and
checkin. Make a conflicting change in another checkout directory.
Perform an update on the second file:
cvs update build.xml (in directory H:\EvoDev\evobuild\)
RCS file: f:/wincvs/repository/EvoDev/evobuild/build.xml,v
retrieving revision 1.3
retrieving revision 1.4
Merging differences between 1.3 and 1.4 into build.xml
rcsmerge: warning: conflicts during merge
cvs server: conflicts found in build.xml
C build.xml
*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****
However, the file is NOT highlighted with a C and cvs status returns:
cvs status -v build.xml (in directory H:\EvoDev\evobuild\)
===================================================================
File: build.xml Status: Locally Modified
Working revision: 1.4
Repository revision: 1.4 f:/wincvs/repository/EvoDev/evobuild/build.xml,v
Sticky Tag: (none)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
Existing Tags:
fri-09-aug (revision: 1.2)
iteration-1-patches (branch: 1.1.2)
iteration-1 (revision: 1.1)
*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****
Looking at CVS/Entries:
/build.xml/1.4/Result of merge//
Version info as follows:
WinCvs 1.3b8
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 57g)
(client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 57f)
(client/server)
Any ideas?
Conflicting versions maybe?
Thanks,
Theo
