(Too late to change the file names) Is it ? I think it would be an excellent idea to change the names right now. > cvs commit -m "test errorz" -- -X_test.sn3 (in directory C:\Documents and > Settings\mjmix\dev\) > Checking in -X_test.sn3; > /home/cm/DEV_CVS_ROOT/dev/-X_test.sn3,v <-- -X_test.sn3 > cvs server: _test.sn3: No such file or directory > cvs [server aborted]: error diffing -X_test.sn3 Don't know if it will work, but try "cvs commit ./-X_test.sn3" If you're lucky the file name will be sent with the leading "./" and if you're even luckier the server will use that same name (which no longer begins with a dash). Even if it works it is not a good solution because it forces you to commit these files by name forevermore. No committing the top-level folder. Please go change the names now. -- pa at panix dot com
