Thanks for you help Mark.
I now realize that this was not handled in the best possible way, a rename
would have been better. What we did was rm foo.GIF,v directly from the
repository. The designer then did a cvs add foo.gif, cvs commit foo.gif
into the main truck. The branch however is still pulling foo.GIF. I am not
sure how to correct this so that the B4 branch pulls foo.gif.
Sorry, Norm, I misread your initial post, and got my branches mixed up.
So, reverse the 'main trunk'/branch statements in my first response and
it will be correct. ;)
However, if the foo.GIF,v file was removed from the repository then it's
not possible for any update/checkout for any branch to retrieve that
file; it no longer exists in the repository. Remember that the ,v file
contains all the data related to that file, and all
branches/versions/history of it. Once it's gone, it's gone. So, Jim's
reply about Windows and file case seems likely; I don't do Windows so I
defer to those who know more about it.
You didn't say that your designer branched foo.gif; if you haven't then
do so. Then check out the branch in a *new* working directory. I'd
expect that you'd get foo.gif in both the directory and the CVS/Entries
file.
