Dear Jakob, the post by me that you reference is quite old (I'd say more than a year old or so) and it applies to a rather peculiar configuration that we no longer have. At the time we had our original structure where we had a separate *repository* for certain types of files and projects and so we could not us ethe modules or modules2 admin files to define virtual modules. Instead we used batch files that were checked out in the main project and when executed they checked out the dependent files. My problem at the time was caused by the fact that we tried to compress the path of the dependent files when checked out to the project sandbox so we forced a folder on the server that was say 4 levels deep to be checked out at one folder depth. But apparently this made our version of CVSNT confused when it was time to do a project wide update. Later we restructured the server to have all earlier separate repositories arranged as top level modules insteads. After this we could use the modules file to manage the virtual modules that we really wanted to use. So inclding my earlier post into your query is really kind of misleading since you have a completely different problem where you have used the cvs rename function (which we are not even permitting on our server)... Furthermore you should have also supplied details about your configuration, like the version of cvs on both the server and the client (4-digit version please). And also a sample session output which shows the problems is in order. /Bo PS: Sorry for top-posting, it is due to the fact that my newsreader cannot find the cvsnt news server anymore. Apparently it is off-line at the moment. So I have to use the email gateway and I use Outlook at work, hence the position of my text.

Hello everyone. I get the same error now, and no complicated modules are involved. What is involved is "cvs rename". I have a folder structure in my repository like root\a\b\c. I had a file in directory "b", which I first moved to directory "a" using cvs rename. Then later I moved it to directory "c" using cvs rename again. Now I get the "nothing known about ..." error every time I update my sandbox. How do I get rid of it? /Jakob "Bo Berglund" <Bo.Berglund at system3r.se> wrote in message news:mailman.15.1087570822.21094.cvsnt at cvsnt.org... I have set up a new module for a program I need to write. This is not defined in any modules or modules2 file, insetad I have just added the folder and the files of this Delphi project to an existing module. But this project needs a rather complex set of dependent files from other modules in several repositories (that's why modules or modules2 will not work). So I have created a batch file to check out the dependent files into subfolders in the new module. So right now I have: MainModule |- A |- B |- C |- D |- E |- F Some of these dependent modules are checked out in extenso (all contained files). But in some of them I have only needed a few files so I arranged the batch file to check out only the wanted files. This works fine until I want to do an update from MainModule. At this time I get this response (with the real file/folder names): cvs server: Updating .

(I have very similar module names Sprite vs. Sprites etc but they *are* different...)
