Submitter-Id: net
Originator: Paul Edwards
Confidential: no
Synopsis: failure to retrieve directory via alias
Severity: serious
Priority: medium
Category: cvs
Class: sw-bug
Release: cvs-1.11
Environment:
<machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)>
System: SunOS ecs1syd2 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
Architecture: sun4
Description:
If you run the script below, you will find that you get the
error shown in "output". cvs doesn't like the lower level
directory being retrieved before the higher level.
How-To-Repeat:
run the below script.
Fix:
delete checked out directories, then check out high level, then
low level.
replace "w3.to" with "bigpond.net.au" to get a more reliable
reply address for kerravon
And note, this problem, like the last, occurs in both CVS 1.10
and 1.11, so they are long-standing bugs.
BFN. Paul.
Directory name "/repository" is only thing not "true".
# assuming tempyyy is an alias set to tempxxx
tail -1 $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules
rm -fr $CVSROOT/tempxxx
mkdir tempxxx
cd tempxxx
mkdir abc
echo "fred" >fred.txt
echo "mary" >abc/mary.txt
cvs import -k o -m initial tempxxx user initial
cd ..
rm -fr tempxxx
cvs get tempyyy/abc
cvs get tempyyy
rm -fr tempyyy
output:
tempyyy tempxxx
/tmp/paul/tempxxx
N tempxxx/fred.txt
cvs import: Importing /repository/tempxxx/abc
N tempxxx/abc/mary.txt
No conflicts created by this import
cvs checkout: Updating tempyyy/abc
U tempyyy/abc/mary.txt
cvs checkout: existing repository /repository/CVSROOT/Emptydir does not
match /repository/tempxxx
cvs checkout: ignoring module tempyyy
