I receive this error during a checkin using WinCVS.
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file .new.mse690Search.asp to
mse690Search.asp: File exists
I am running 1.10.6 on solaris 2.61 server
WinCVS 1.1b12 client on windows 95
Work area on a NT4 server share. ( shared by developers )
Examining the source code it appears cvs attempts to
create a .new.file with keyword replacements
delete the orginal file using unlink
rename .new. file to file
So....
If the unlink fails this error will occurr.
The code tests for writability but this is not sufficient. A file can be
writable but not removable.
Anyone come accross this before.
