Hi. A former co-worker removed a file (apparently using cvs remove followed by cvs commit). The sourceforge SCM view shows its state as "dead". Unfortunately, the file (Makefile.am) is required for my package build, so I need it back.
I tried "cvs add Makefile.am" (which was accepted) followed by "cvs ci Makefile.am", but the latter failed with the message cvs commit: failed to move `/cvsroot/.../doc/Attic/Makefile.am,v' out of the attic: Permission denied ... and the file's state is still "dead". I have permission to do all the usual CVS stuff in this project, so I'm not sure where the "Permission denied" message comes from. I've poked around on the web quite a bit looking for a solution, and I see other reports of the same problem, but no solutions. The CVS documentation doesn't seem to address the possibility that you'd want to resurrect a removed file AFTER you've committed the removal. My workaround is to grab the Makefile.am from a previous release's source tarball and put it in place for the package build. Any suggestions? Thanks.
