I have just encountered the same problem. I have been using the
command-line CVS, but another user has been using WinCVS.
Known Facts:
- the contents of the repo version seem fine, AFAIK.
- the file seems to have gone bad after version 1.4; the first
4 versions worked hunky-dory
- at the time of the problem, the file in question was the
only one in the project with the readonly bit _NOT_ set;
setting this bit results in the next repo action (I used
a tag) returning "end of file from server", and a subsequent
tag again returning "cannot rename file ... File exists".
Any thoughts? Anybody?
Thanks,
Andrew.
