I am relativly new to source version control systems. I have a cvsNT server on a windows 2003 server, in which several of the projects have invalid kopt values. Is there a fix program to correct this? Since the corruption is in the *.*,v files, what does the *.*,v contain? If I blew away the *.*,v files what would I loose? Finally, is there a documented reason as to how this happens, and what can I do so it doesn't happen again?
