Problems restoring a file

[Adam Cohen]

I'm having trouble resurrecting a file that was removed. I've read section 7.2 of the cederqvist manual, but it doesn't solve my problem. The problem is that after removing the file and committing the change, I try to ressurrect it by typing "cvs add oldballs" (oldballs is the name of the file), which gives me the following message:

cvs add: re-adding file oldballs (in place of dead revision 1.3)
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

Which looks like it worked, but when I type "cvs commit", I get the following error:

cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `oldballs'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've searched the archives, and it seems as though I'm using the correct procedure, but it doesn't work.. After searching the web, I came up with the following solution which _does_ work, but I don't think it's the correct way:

cvs update -j1.3 -j1.2 oldballs

when "running cvs status -v oldballs", I get the following output:

===================================================================
File: no file oldballs Status: Up-to-date

Working revision: No entry for oldballs
Repository revision: 1.3 /src/master/cscc09/ass3/Attic/oldballs,v

Existing Tags:
No Tags Exist

So if anyone can tell me why the "add" command doesn't work, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,

Adam
