@Bo: > Very strange connection string, indeed. > Why do you have the c:/CVSROOT part there???? The actual physical layout of the directory structure is C:\CVSROOT\[all my working directories]. That is, there is a directory I created named CVSROOT which is directly under the root of the c:\ drive, and all my source code is in subdirectories under that, where each folder contains the source for one project. So, for instance: c:\CVSROOT\Project1\project with all Project1's source in the "project" subdirectory, and c:\CVSROOT\Project1\CVSROOT which is presumably the CVSNT-created folder then Project 2 would have c:\CVSROOT\Project2\project with all Project2's source in the project subdirectory, and c:\CVSROOT\Project2\CVSROOT which is presumably the CVSNT-created folder etc. So you're saying this is not a good way to go. I wanted to have all my repositories under one directory. I guess I shouldn't have named my "master" directory "CVSROOT", then? Apart from that, is my structure OK, assuming I re-name *my* CVSROOT folder to something else? Will it break anything if I simply re-name the folder from Windows Explorer? As I recall, I had a considerable amount of trouble getting the connection string to work at all, and so I never got around to creating a symbolic name for the directory. That's why the actual drive/directory path is present in the connection string. Perhaps the trouble I had was related to using a reserved name for the "master" directory... ~~~ @Arthur- > Can you send [...] the .directory_history,v file [...] There is no ".directory_history,v" file, but there *is* a "historyinfo,v" file in the CVSROOT directory which is one directory level up from the ",v" versions of the source files. Would it help to have that? Thanks everyone, -Andrew Cushen andrew at cushen.com
