I still could use some help figuring this out. I even changed my setup
slightly to make it more similar to the example in the CVS manual.
I set my "CVSROOT" to ":local:/c/cvsroot". I did "cvs init". This created a
"CVSROOT" directory in "/c/cvsroot". I then went to $HOME/java/sgs and did
"cvs import -m "Simple Grading System" intsoft/sgs intsoft start". This
printed lines like this:
-------------
N intsoft/sgs/build.xml
N intsoft/sgs/sgs.txt
N intsoft/sgs/Status
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/bin
N intsoft/sgs/bin/createdataset
N intsoft/sgs/bin/listclasses
N intsoft/sgs/bin/rawinitdb
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/clientsrc
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/clientsrc/com
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/clientsrc/com/intsoft
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/clientsrc/com/intsoft/sgs
cvs import: Importing /c/cvsroot/intsoft/sgs/clientsrc/com/intsoft/sgs/client
N intsoft/sgs/clientsrc/com/intsoft/sgs/client/AppCallbackHandler.java
...
-------------
I then went to "$HOME/cvswork" and did "cvs checkout intsoft/sgs". It gave me
the following response:
cvs [checkout aborted]: must specify at least one module or directory
I would appreciate any help in understanding what I'm doing wrong.
