Did you commit the file to the Attic? i.e. cvs ci myRepoPath/Attic/myFile.txt Or did you commit to a branch but not to main trunk (or vice-a-versa)?
If the second is the case, then you can just merge the file from the branch to the main trunk: cvs co myRepoPath/ cvs up -j branch_name myRepoPath/myFile.txt (Note the lack of Attic in the path) --Russ On 5/25/05, S I <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We're running the cvs Repo on a linux box with no shell access to users > who're on the WinXP client side, except myself as the Admin. > > A user accidentally committed files to the Attic and we need to retrieve > them.
