Hi A file having its extension in capital letters, image_cust1.JPG, was
accidentally deleted by a user, instead of, being renamed to image_cust1.cap.
I am the CVS Admin and have direct ssh access to the linux Repository server
and our users including myself, use WinCVS and Windows commandline to access
CVS. I CD'd to the subfolder where the file was deleted and ran the following
commands from a DOS prompt(in the first command, should the file before
(greaterThanSign) > be image_cust1.JPG or .jpg or does it
matter?)C:\MyCVS\images>cvs -Q update -p -r 1.1 image_cust1.JPG >
image_cust1.jpg C:\MyCVS\images>cvs add -kb image_cust1.jpgcvs server:
image_cust1.jpg has already been entered C:\MyCVS\images>cvs ci -m "revived jpg
image" image_cust1.jpgcvs server: cannot add file `image_cust1.jpg' when RCS
file `/repo/images/image_cust1.jpg,v' already existscvs [server aborted]:
correct above errors first! C:\MyCVS\images>cvs updatecvs server: Updating .A
image_cust1.jpg C:\MyCVS\images> As you can see, when I do an update, I see
the file pending with an add status but committing it will cause an error. Any
ideas or help please. Thanks
