Egbert,
I don't see a way how you can work around this as there seems to be no way to exclude files from checkout/update. One could create an alias module in the CVS repositry which excludes the HP directory. Like
xc-win -a !xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/HP xc
Then doing a cvs checkout xc-win may work. However I suspect that a 'cvs update' will still fail as this doesn't know about the module concept.
Does this mean I can only get HEAD and new branches from it? I just tried to get the xf-4_3-branch and it has the same problem as the xf-4_3_0_1 tag.
I just did this: ======================================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3 $ export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3 $ export CVS_RSH=ssh
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/x-devel/4.3 $ cvs -z3 checkout -r xf-4_3-branch xc > cvs-checkout.log 2>&1
I got:
========================================================================
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/hp
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/keytronic
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/kinesis
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/macintosh
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/microsoft
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/nec
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/northgate
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/pc
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/sony
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/sun
U xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/winbook
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not chdir to xc/programs/xkbcomp/geometry/HP: Not a directory
Does that mean that xf-4_3-branch will never work for Cygwin and that there is nothing we can do to ever fix this?
If so, that is really a bummer.
Be a little patient. This problem will be fixed, and in a way that minimises the impact on the history loss.

David,
Okay. For now I checked out xf-4_3-branch on a linux machine, tarred it, copied it to my Cygwin machine, and untarred it. This gives me a working repository, but ideally we will eventually fix this or at least try to prevent it from happening too often in the future.
Thanks to everyone for their help,
Harold
