G'day,
We've just run up against a problem with a cvs branch. It appears as
though when creating the branch, the files go half AWOL.
We created the branch on all of the selected files in a directory:
cvs tag -b BRANCHNAME file1.doc test.cpp ...
We update the working copy of the directory:
cvs update -r BRANCHNAME
At this point if we attempt to do any operations on the branched files, it
is as though they are not in repository. eg.
after modifying test.cpp:
cvs commit test.cpp
cvs [commit aborted]: reading from server: Invalid argument
cvs update test.cpp
cvs server: conflict: test.cpp is modified but no longer in the repository
C test.cpp
However, if I checkout a new copy:
cvs checkout -P -r BRANCHNAME -d testdir-BRANCH module/subdir
all the branched files are there.
We have had no troubles like this with branching in the past.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks
