Ah, so when you checkout into an existing sandbox, you automagically get the update behaviour instead? > > eg. > > D:\t>cvs co -d foo cvsroot > cvs checkout: Updating foo > U foo/checkoutlist > U foo/commitinfo > U foo/config > U foo/cvsrc > U foo/cvswrappers > U foo/editinfo > U foo/historyinfo > U foo/loginfo > .... > > D:\t>cvs co -d foo cvsroot > cvs checkout: Updating foo > cvs checkout: Updating foo/itest > cvs checkout: Updating foo/uptest > cvs checkout: Updating foo/uptest/a > cvs checkout: Updating foo/uptest/b > > btw. as seen above it works fine when done this way. Sorry Tony... regret to say I so does NOT. I tried it just now. Am even though I'm only on my second cup of coffee today, I'm pretty sure I'm seeing this: W:\tmp\zzzz>cvs co -d balls dev/cxref/cxref cvs server: Updating balls U balls/!magic U balls/ANNOUNCE U balls/COPYING U balls/ChangeLog U balls/FAQ [snip] W:\tmp\zzzz>cvs co -d balls dev/cxref/cxref cvs server: Updating balls cvs checkout: move away balls/!magic; it is in the way C balls/!magic cvs checkout: move away balls/ANNOUNCE; it is in the way C balls/ANNOUNCE cvs checkout: move away balls/COPYING; it is in the way C balls/COPYING cvs checkout: move away balls/ChangeLog; it is in the way C balls/ChangeLog cvs checkout: move away balls/FAQ; it is in the way C balls/FAQ [snip]. I'm running 2.0.41a, and so is Terence Wilson (well, I think he's running that... he only specified 'latest stable version', which IIRC is still 2.0.41a). I just fired up 2.0.47 on another machine and I get the same :( Cheers, David
