I think it may be a bug in cvs. Effectively this should update your current directory. But with a new directory (empty) I would expect that it checks out nothing (error) or everything in your repo.
My testing shows that it attempts to check out the entire repo. But it fails and acts weird after it fails (my cmd window was foobar'd). This may be because of outdated/corrpted modules as we have some outdated/unused modules. But if yours is failing on a newly created repo then it may be a CVS bug. Anyhow, please try to specify the module name explicitly and see if that works at least: cvs -d$CVSROOT co LocalHostMonitorAPI src diagnostic (Please post the results) Regards, --Russ > > Here's the result: > > 555 > ls > CVS GuardiumCustom SharedMemoryDriver platform > CVSROOT LocalHostMonitorAPI diagnostic src > GUARDIUM_RELEASE_TAG Makefile docs testing > GuardSoftwareTap Makefile.subdirs install > 556 > > > Now the fun begins: > > 556 > cat CVS/Entries > /GUARDIUM_RELEASE_TAG/1.2/Fri Jul 22 16:31:39 2005// > /Makefile/1.6/Fri Aug 5 16:54:48 2005// > D/docs//// > D/testing//// > D/GuardSoftwareTap//// > /Makefile.subdirs/1.1/Fri May 6 21:47:51 2005// > D/install//// > D/GuardiumCustom//// > D/SharedMemoryDriver//// > D/platform//// > 557 > > > Note that the Entries file is missing src, LocalHostMonitorAPI, CVSROOT > and diagnostic. > > Now, everytime I say update I get this at the beginning: > > ?
