I posted the article below on the WSAD group. We are having some problems with CVSNT with WSAD. The problem is phrased in terms of WSAD functions eg "synchronize" and "update from repository" (I'm not sure exactly what wsad CVS plugin is doing under the covers in terms of CVS commands). Anyone have an idea what could be wrong here? __ Subject: [CVS] error synchronizing Are there any known problems with synchronizing? I use CVS all day every day with absolutely no problem but I have gotten reports from other users (on different servers/repositories) of errors trying to synchronize. Here are the cases I'm aware of (details sketchy): After deleting a folder in the workspace, syncrhonize fails. The folder had to be imported from backup to make the synchronize work. Another user had a synchronize error that went away by itself after upgrading from CVSNT 3.0.4 to 3.0.8 (which is what I use). The first user (on 3.0.34 I think) sees synchronize fail whenever there are any changes from other developers. He can to an "update from repository" and after that the synchronize works (but of course there are no incoming changes anymore to be synchronized). That user is planning to try CVSNT 3.0.41 to see if it helps. I'm not sure if these users are on 5.01 or 5.1.0 like me. I have also seen at least one case with wsad completely refusing to bring up the synchronize window because of an error on a certain file but I dont remember the specifics or the resolution. I have a hunch it has something to do with folders eg when the folder structure doesnt match between repo and workspace. So are there any known problems with CVS synchronize in 5.01 or 5.1.0 using CVSNT?
