Let's say I know the RCS file is completely corrupted and I want it to eradicate the file permanently. That means I want the file back to 1.1, how could I do that?

That's very strange. Any > idea? There may be more corruption remaining in the file - hopefully you have not introduced any further problems. I hope you backed up the file before changing it. Stop what you are doing now, download the validate_repo script and run it. Since you're running CVSNT, I'm guessing you're using Windows, in which case you will also have to download and install Cygwin, or some other UNIX-like shell, to run the script. *Please* take the time to do this now, before your repository becomes more corrupted. Earlier, Larry mentioned: > If you have a recent backup that isn't also > corrupted, you should probably restore it. Do you have recent backup of the repository? If so, you will likely be further ahead to restore the corrupt file(s) from your backup, rather than trying to muddle your way through the RCS file, which risks further corruption. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
