Are these users actually working in a subdirectory of an existing CVS repository or is this a false positive? If it's the former, it's an incredibly stupid thing to do and they should be told so -- the repository is only for CVS internal files, not arbitrary files. If it's the latter, I'd like to know why they have a CVSROOT subdirectory in their current working directory or an ancestor of it (the error message should indicate the offending directory) and what's in that subdirectory. It sounds to me like they shot themselves in the foot and are now complaining to you about it. -- Larry Jones Physical education is what you learn from having your face in someone's armpit right before lunch. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list Bug-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
