You are already inside an existing sandbox which already has its own metadata. If you weren't inside a sandbox Add wouldn't know where to add the new folder to in the first place. > Directory /usr/local/cvsnt/LifeGoesOm/src/dao/org/LifeGoesOm added to > the reposi > tory > -bash-2.05b$ cvs -d :ext:siegfried at localhost:/usr/local/cvsnt commit > -m "Proper > directory name to replace lgoesom" Erm, AFAICT there is nothing to commit yet at that point. You just created a folder and added it. That does not require a commit. Only file additions need to be committed. Also, a folder without files in it will never be checked out. > On the workstation I do this: > > $ cd src/dao/org/ > > Administrator at fasolt /cygdrive/s/Documents and Settings/Siegfried/My > Documents/d > ev/AppFuse/LifeGoesOm/LifeGoesOm/src/dao/org > $ ls > CVS appfuse > > Administrator at fasolt /cygdrive/s/Documents and Settings/Siegfried/My > Documents/d > ev/AppFuse/LifeGoesOm/LifeGoesOm/src/dao/org > $ cvs -d :ssh:siegfried at 69.41.164.28:/usr/local/cvsnt update Again, there is no need to specify the CVSROOT with the update command. Update won't work outside a sandbox anyway. <.snip.> > Why don't I see the directory I just created on the server? Because there are no files in it. As I wrote above, empty directories could not be checked out. Hope this helps. -- Oliver ---- ------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 (http://wwp.icq.com/18777742)
