[cvsnt] Strange errors in modules file handling

Tue Sep 17 10:34:28 BST 2002

I went to update the modules file so that the cvs co -c command would yield some data.
So I added this into the modules file:
ACSystems
CMPocket
MachineManagerNET
ncdll
WMAGIETR
WMBasic
WORKCTR
WSMADMIN
WSMDB
WSMgr

These are all module directories directly at the top of the repository.
The modules file also contains the commented out lines above these.
When I committed my new modules file this error was shown in WinCvs:

cvs -z9 commit -m "Updated the modules file" modules (in directory C:\3RProj\ADM\CVSROOT\)
Checking in modules;
d:/cvs/ADM/CVSROOT/modules,v  <--  modules
new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3
done
cvs server: Rebuilding administrative file database
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `CMPocket'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WMBasic'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WORKCTR'

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Then if I do a cvs co -c command:

cvs -z9 checkout -c (in directory C:\3RProj\ADM\CVSROOT\)
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `CMPocket'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WMBasic'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WORKCTR'

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Now I edited my modules file again and removed everything above the list
of module directories (all commented lines). When I committed this I got the
same response as above.

But now the cvs co -c command yields this strange response:

cvs co -c

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `ACSystems'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `CMPocket'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `MachineManagerNET'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WMBasic'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `WORKCTR'
WMAGIETR     nagerNET
WSMADMIN     nagerNET
WSMDB        IN
WSMgr        IN
ncdll        eManagerNET

I am scratching my head on this, can anyone suggest a remedy?
