Hi there,

during a merge (from branch to HEAD) I got the following error message
(concerns a lot of files):
---------------------------
...
cvs server: PositionOffset.xml: permission mismatch between 1.1 and 1.1.2.1
cvs server: nonmergeable file needs merge
cvs server: revision 1.1.2.1 from repository is now in
config/scan/PositionOffset.xml
cvs server: file from working directory is now in .#PositionOffset.xml.1.1
C config/scan/PositionOffset.xml
...
----------------------------

Where does this message come from? My first thought was: the original file
was write-protected before merge - but this wasn't true (In a second
merge-attempt I recursively removed all write-protection flags before merge, but the
effect was the same)

Any idea when this message occurs - and what to do to avoid it?

Thanks

Johannes
