Hi Tony,
you can do this without dealing with "magic" files on the server.
Only do this on a client:
- create a log file of the repository path
where the file should be located
--> make "cvs log >statistics.log" in the sandbox folder with
the checked out copy of the project)
- search the resulting text file for the filename that your users
are complaining about.
* if the filename doesn't exist --> the file was never committed.
(then the "Other one" is right)
* if the state of the last revision of the file is "state: dead;"
--> the file was removed and the entry "author: " gives you
the name of the bad guy that removes it.
(then the first "One" is right)
* if the filename exist and state is "state: Exp;", it still exist
in the repository and both guys made mistakes
best regards,
Alexander Zoernack
