RE: adding directories and files directly under /cvs
At a guess ... A) Naming a directory "cvs" is bad if you want it under CVS control. B) The error message indicates that you did not do a "cvs init" and hence the missing admin files.

Re: adding directories and files directly under /cvs
David Berry writes: > > When do I use the import command instead of the > add command? You use add to add new files or directories within an existing, checked out, working directory. You use import to import a directory tree that is not part of a working directory directly into the repository. When you do add, the files and directories are already part of the working directory. When you do import, you have to do a separate checkout or update to get the files in a working directory. -Larry Jones You're going to be pretty lonely in the nursing home. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
Re: adding directories and files directly under /cvs
Larry, I have made an observation that needs clarification. Since I was unable to "add" a new program to the cvs directory, as I showed in my previous email, I tried to import it. The cvs import command does indeed allow me to create a new project under cvs. When do I use the import command instead of the add command?
