AFAICT the problem comes up if you check out a module to a shortened path. Say that you have a sandbox and now you want to check out a different module as a subdirectory in it: cvs co -d Charlie Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie This will get you the contents of the Module1/subdira/subdirb/Charlie folder into a folder with the name Charlie in the current sandbox. This structure seems to make the messages mentioned pop up at various times. I don't have a full analysis on these cases since I just moved on at the time, though.... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
