>| cvs update: move away bits/bbdb-filters/COPYING.LIB; it is in the way
This is a client issue, not a server-side one. (Rare, really; most of
the annoyances I get with CVS crop up on the server, where mortals
cannot fix them. I've never had any problems with the BBDB repository,
though.)
The CVS sources say:
,----[ src/client.c ]
| /* This error might be confusing; it isn't really clear to
| the user what to do about it. Keep in mind that it has
| several causes: (1) something/someone creates the file
| during the time that CVS is running, (2) the repository
| has two files whose names clash for the client because
| of case-insensitivity or similar causes, (3) a special
| case of this is that a file gets renamed for example
| from a.c to A.C. A "cvs update" on a case-insensitive
| client will get this error. Repeating the update takes
| care of the problem, but is it clear to the user what
| is going on and what to do about it?, (4) the client
| has a file which the server doesn't know about (e.g. "?
| foo" file), and that name clashes with a file the
| server does know about, (5) classify.c will print the same
| message for other reasons.
|
| I hope the above paragraph makes it clear that making this
| clearer is not a one-line fix. */
`----
and src/classify.c displays it if there is a user file (not mentioned in
CVS/Entries) which is not the same as the file being checked out.
(Has something happened to your CVS/ directories in your BBDB tree?)
