I've been trying to get back a few files that were "cvs remove'ed" without success. Here's the scenario, using foo.java as the example file; let's say it's at rev 1.3 when this scenario starts (so rev 1.4 becomes the 'dead' revision): % cvs remove foo.java % cvs commit -m "Getting rid of foo" . ... time passes ... % cvs update -j 1.4 -j 1.3 foo.java % cvs commit -m "Restoring foo" foo.java At this point, I always get an error like the following: cvs commit: Failed to move `//server/CVSRepository/myproj/Attic/foo.java' out of the attic: Bad address We have the CVS repository exported as a network share and set CVSROOT to be "\\server\CVSRepository", accessing it as though it were local. I've also tried just doing "cvs add foo.java" instead of "cvs update -j 1.4 -j 1.3". The commit fails the same way. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks, Larry
