Hi: I sent this a week ago with no response. I'm a newbie to the list and not sure how to interpret silence. I saw a couple of resends that got response, so I figured waiting a week would be a good amount of time to wait. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks. Mike
You need to use a directory other than "." for the export:
cvs export -D now -d somedir a/b/somefile
will work with cvs 1.11.6

Hi: I'm using cvs v1.11.5 and I've noticed some odd behaviour. If I execute the incantation: cvs export -D now -d . a/b/somefile on a local repository, I get the expected version of somefile in the directory I executed from. However, if I have CVS_RSH=ssh and CVSROOT set to point at the exact same repository, but prefixed with :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: and work from another machine, the above incantation fails with: [export aborted]: cannot export into a working directory. If I replace the . with a new directory name, it works fine, as does a checkout. I found something about a bug close to this at http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2001-05/msg00040.html but I'm not using pserver and I was under the impression that export did not ever create the CVS admin directory, so I'm a bit stumped. Can someone explain what could be happening, if its a bug, and, if so, is it fixed in a later version or still outstanding. Thanks in advance for any insight provided.. Mike
