I've found out it's a small problem in one of the files. In
c:\programs\ViewCvs\lib\vclib\bincvs\__init__.py, at line 131 you'll see:
if filename != full_name:
raise vclib.Error(
'The filename from co did not match. Found "%s". Wanted "%s"<br>'
'url="%s"' % (filename, full_name, where))
At that point "where" is undefined, thus the error. However, there's
another kink in there that \ and / are not equal yet are mixed at that
point in one of the strings. I was able to hack this to fix it --
treating both strings probably isn't necessary, and there may be a more
appropriate place to do it, but this works:
if string.replace(filename,'\\','/') !=
string.replace(full_name,'\\','/'):
raise vclib.Error(
'The filename from co did not match. Found "%s". Wanted "%s"<br>'
% (filename, full_name))
Please advise if this would be better done some other way. I'm
unfamiliar with both python and ViewCVS internals.
