[cvsnt] How to delete repository and start over?

[Siegfried Heintze]

I tired Andreas's suggestion and it did not work. I get the same error I
just want to delete the repository and start over.

I tried delete the repository files and could not. I tried stopping the
service. This did not help. I tried using the init command on the same
repository. That seemed to work. I tried using the import command again and
it seemed to work for a few (but not all) my files (see below).

So how do I delete a repository?

   Thanks,
      Siegfried

yes, see below...

I suggest you change the name to /CONVEX. Then you have to change the "Root"
file within all CVS directories (there is one in each folder that is under
CVS control), so it fits the new name. That should work. AFAIK there are
also some scripts around, that do all the changing work...

Best regards
