Hello, I'm writing you because we ran across several problems, which appear to be related to cvs update -d. Sometimes when executing this command, some directories from an unrelated subtree of the repository would be checked out to the working copy. For example, our reporitory would look something like this: /repository | ----- Company | ----- | ----- Sales & Marketing | ----- | ----- | ----- H - Communication ... | ----- HubServer | ----- | ----- tools | ----- | ----- | ----- BuildTools | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- Common | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- ... ... Suppose we have a working copy of the HubServer module: HubServer | ----- tools | ----- | ----- BuildTools | ----- | ----- | ----- Common | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- ... Doing a cvs update -d inside HubServer\tools\BuildTools sometimes produced the following resulting working copy: HubServer | ----- tools | ----- | ----- BuildTools | ----- | ----- | ----- Common | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- ... | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- H - Communication | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- ... The result is that the subtree from Company\Sales & Marketing\H - Communication is checked out to the working copy. I couldn't figure out what was making this behavior, but sometimes the working copy seemed to get inconsistent, and following updates would result in errors: > "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" update -d -P 2>&1 ? Synchronization/tickets cvs server: Updating . cvs server: cannot open directory /repository/HubServer/tools/BuildTools/Common: Invalid argument cvs server: skipping directory I would like to know if this problem is already known in cvsnt. The version being used was 2.5.03. Protocol sspi. > cvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 (client/server) I have some dumps from cvs -t -t -t, if that can be of any help.
