Hello, I have a file that has been removed on a branch, but when I merge that branch into HEAD, the file on HEAD doesn't get removed. Instead, I get a message that says "cvs server: file Base.hpp has been modified, but has been removed in revision bGeDev". (See the update command below.) The file is not modified on HEAD (see stat below). The only modifications are a few revisions on the branch after the last merge before the file got removed on the branch. But the last revision on the branch is dead (see log below). Yet, after the merge, the file in HEAD is untouched. Can anybody explain why it doesn't merge the remove from the branch to HEAD? Thanks, Gerhard d:\...>cvs ver Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2382 (client/server) d:\...>cvs stat Base.hpp =================================================================== File: Base.hpp Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.5 Repository revision: 1.5 /.../Base.hpp,v Expansion option: kv Commit Identifier: f6c47c440c10c50 Sticky Tag: (none) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) Merge From: (none) d:\...>cvs log Base.hpp RCS file: /.../Base.hpp,v Working file: Base.hpp head: 1.5 branch: locks: strict access list: symbolic names: bGeDev: 1.4.0.2 keyword substitution: kv total revisions: 11; selected revisions: 11 description: ---------------------------- revision 1.5 date: 2008/02/26 16:39:57; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +138 -66; kopt: kv; commitid: f6c47c440c10c50; mergepoint: 1.4.2.3; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4 date: 2008/02/20 23:32:28; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +3 -1; kopt: kv; commitid: 98447bcb8817375; filename: Base.hpp; branches: 1.4.2; ---------------------------- revision 1.3 date: 2008/02/18 13:27:05; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +42 -97; kopt: kv; commitid: c7047b987a207e7; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.2 date: 2008/02/10 19:10:06; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +6 -6; kopt: kv; commitid: 90047af4c0d1d73; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.1 date: 2008/02/06 19:06:31; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; kopt: kv; commitid: ecc47aa04545f4a; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.6 date: 2008/03/01 03:07:42; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: dead; lines: +1 -1; kopt: kv; commitid: f5447c8c875576a; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.5 date: 2008/02/29 02:37:55; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +30 -29; kopt: kv; commitid: 75847c76ffb727f; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.4 date: 2008/02/27 00:59:54; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +1 -2; kopt: kv; commitid: 39847c4b6000b30; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.3 date: 2008/02/26 16:36:19; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2; kopt: kv; commitid: 87847c43ffb09c9; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.2 date: 2008/02/26 00:25:02; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +120 -80; kopt: kv; commitid: b4047c35c54225e; filename: Base.hpp; ---------------------------- revision 1.4.2.1 date: 2008/02/22 22:03:56; author: gerhard.fiedler; state: Exp; lines: +41 -9; kopt: kv; commitid: ee047bf46c44c00; filename: Base.hpp; ============================================================================= d:\...>cvs up -j bGeDev Base.hpp cvs server: file Base.hpp has been modified, but has been removed in revision bGeDev d:\...>cvs stat Base.hpp =================================================================== File: Base.hpp Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.5 Repository revision: 1.5 /.../Base.hpp,v Expansion option: kv Commit Identifier: f6c47c440c10c50 Sticky Tag: (none) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) Merge From: (none)
