Hi, Thanks, upgrading did seem to fix the initial problem but it has reared its head again. > Your server is running a very old version of CVSNT. > Upgrading it may remove your problem, as a lot of > bugs have been removed since that version was current. Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.0rc2 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.0rc2 (client/server) It seems to be associated with symbolic tags - maybe because those tags are on the avendor branch? I tried tagging just the 1.1 version but encountered the same problem. I have tried importing the files into a new directory and then checking them out again and any one of a number of things. Again, it only seems to be files in some of the directories that are affected. Here is a transcipt of the commands: /* * using a symbolic tag - doesn't work for this file */ Y:\>CVS co -dtmpdir -Arversion_tag "HelpFile\ZoomMode.htm" cvs server: in directory .: cvs [server aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first /* * using a revision number - works perfectly */ Y:\>CVS co -dtmpdir -Ar1.1 "HelpFile\ZoomMode.htm" U tmpdir/ZoomMode.htm Basically, this is the story. Everything seems to work fine from the WinCVS interface. The only thing that doesn't seem to work (for some directories) is... -a command line checkout that specifies a symbolic tag to check out the file. /* * trace of a failed session follows... */ Y:\>CVS -t co -dtmpdir -rv1_3_1_9 "HelpFile\ZoomMode.htm" -> Tracelevel set to 1. PID is 1520 -> Session ID is 5f03e83cb450000 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:server1/usr/local/cvsroot -> Requesting server cvsrc (read-cvsrc2) S -> do_module(HelpFile\ZoomMode.htm, Updating, , ) S -> do_module(HelpFile/ZoomMode.htm, Updating, tmpdir, ) S -> Checking admin file C:/cvsrepo/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/admin for user johnr cvs server: in directory .: cvs [server aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first Yes I may be doing something wrong, but at the moment I am totally confused and a little frustrated. Any advice would be very gratefully received. Thanks John Rushworth PS Yes, the symbolic tags exist. Yes, I am using the right case. ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal #####################################################################################
