I have recently run into a rather odd instance of a notify file
causing problems in the CVS directory of a users sandbox... What I
would like to know is what might cause the creation of a notify file
in a users sandbox and what it's purpose is...
The problem started when a user was attempting to add files to the
repository, the pserver was reporting a 'nothing known about...' error
response.
Pertinent version info:
Client - jCVS 5.1.1, JRE1.2, win2K 2195, intel
Server - Redhat Linux 6.1 (sort of =), cvs 1.10.8, pserver, intel
The Notify file in CVSROOT is just comments, but watches are on for
the project...
The contents of the file are as follows:
--- begin paste ---
ESection_One.htm Thu Apr 13 14:07:23 2000 GMT remote.via.jCVS
./FuncSpec/SectionOne/
--- end paste ---
Is this a jCVS client issue, or does the c/s protocol require the
creation of such files? Any help would be appreciated as in the
future I would like to avoid whatever caused it... =)
