Bo, Jakob, Everyone, Should have reported back earlier, but this is what I found. I looked in windows/bin/CVS/Entries and there was no mention of 'drivers'. It's curious that Tortoise and WinCvs treated this differently. I expect that's a difference between 2.0.51d client used by WinCvs and 2.0.62.1817 used by Tortoise. I added the line manually and Update then worked. It is therefore curious that the line hadn't been added automatically. The 'drivers' subfolder was not new and all others at the same level were happy. This would explain Jakob's experience too. Just deleting the files and then Updating causes the files to reappear but because the Entries file hasn't been updated a subsequent Update fails as indicated. Deleting the whole folder causes Update to recreate the Entries file and this time it gets it right. So essentially the problem is 'Why didn't it get created right automatically ?'. 'Why did the other Entries files get created properly but that one was missing an entry ?'. Anyway, my immediate problem is fixed. I leave it to those who know much more about such things to ponder whether there is a bug somewhere that caused it. And whether it is now fixed. Appreciatively, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Jakob Kruse Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 9:23 AM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Re: I get 'file in the way' errors when I don't think Ishould. ... or try to delete the entire directory that has "in the way" files and update again. That has solved this problem for me before (deleting the files themselves did not - after one update they came back, after two I got the error again). /Jakob "Bo Berglund" <bo.berglund at system3r.se> wrote in message news:433d561b.38269158 at news.cvsnt.org... > On Fri, 30 Sep 2005 13:54:58 +0100, "Richard Kerry" > <Richard.Kerry at bbc.co.uk> wrote: > > >>I've just tried this process from both WinCvs and Tortoise. >>In both cases windows/bin/drivers appears in the initial greyed out >>and preceded by '?' list of folders being ignored. > > Check in the windows/bin/CVS/Entries file if there is a line which > specifies directory drivers. > If there is none then when you update from above drivers and check the > option to create missing directories that exist in repository the > existing folder is truly "in the way". > You could add a line to the Entries file manually specifying this > folder and see what happens. > > > > /Bo Berglund _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
