Sorry, actually the inconsistant is just on the client side, the rcs on the server is quite good. What happened is: after using "cvs admin -o -r1.31" command to remove the revision, this revision is delete on the server, but the client is still on this revision (and will prevent you from making any submit). And I figured out a workaround for this: 1. save the changes made to the file 2. run cvs udpate -C to get a most recent copy 3. apply the changes back 4. run submit to check in all the changes (and it could succeed here since you get synced with the server) "Tom" <pxknet at gmail.com> news:f8gflo$pto$1 at paris.nodomain.org... > woo, I just tried it and find the rcs file was result in an inconsistant > condition.
