Program: cvs
Version: 1.10
Host: all
Area: client
Synopsis: cvs co fails with &module inclusion
Description:
"cvs checkout" fails with the following error messages:
benz:/tmp(3)> cvs co odstb_all
cvs server: Updating odstb
cvs server: Updating odstb/config
...
cvs checkout: move away odstb/doc/.cvsignore; it is in the way
C doc/.cvsignore
cvs checkout: move away odstb/doc/Imakefile; it is in the way
C doc/Imakefile
...
This happens under the following conditions:
1. remote access to the repository is used, i.e. cvs client/server.
2. an already existing work tree is checked out again
(i.e. updated with the "co" command); note: the error does not
appear when "update" is used, but update does not checkout new
directories.
3. The &module feature is used in the module file. Our modules
files reads as follows:
_odstb_doc -d doc _odstb_doc
_odstb_ids -d lib/ids _odstb_ids
odstb odstb
odstb_all -d odstb odstb &_odstb_doc &_odstb_ids
Reproduce with:
1. use remote repository access
2. add abovementioned lines to modules file
3. call
% cvs co -A odstb_all
% cvs co -A odstb_all
