You would change the CVSROOT - in WinCVS under the Macros, you can run CVS à Change CVSROOT on the folder(s) you want to commit. Give it the old CVSROOT (your colleague userid) and replace it with yours.
Ajay From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gupta, Richa (GE Healthcare, consultant) Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Gupta, Richa (GE Healthcare, consultant) Subject: **help needed for CVS** Hi, I am using CVS for maintaining versions of my code. I had recently joined this project and my colleague gave me a code for some changes. That piece of code was checked-out by him on his machine. I made the changes in code and when i went to check-in the code in CVS from my machine, I found that its asking my colleague's password for checking-in. Now my colleague has left the project and in no way i can use his password. Also the code changes are very large in number, so I do not want to take a risk of doing them again in new code checked out by me. As the code was checked-out by my colleague on his machine and I am trying to check-in through my machine and hence the problem. Please tell me if there is any way that my problem can be solved. I will be really grateful.
