Re: Bug in CVS 1.11 with client/server 'cvs export'.

greetings

I am afraid that this setting made no difference for me.  The TopLevelAdmin
was commented out originally, I tried with it completely removed and
explicity set to 'no' and I still get this problem.

Glad I am not the only one to see weirdness in this area ;-) but it must be
more than just this setting that triggers this.

cheers

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the
conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors
who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own
downfall by doing so.

bug-cvs,

I've come across a problem with client/server 'cvs export' in version
1.11, where the export fails while trying to export a module to a
clean directory.  CVS complains that I cannot 'export into a working
directory' despite the target directory being empty and thus free of
any CVS admin files.

Last month Anthony Caetano posted a description of a very similar
problem with 'cvs export' to this list.  As far as I can tell his
problem remains unresolved and I suspect that both share a root cause.

The good news is that I've tracked the cause of my problem down to the
'TopLevelAdmin' setting that I had enabled in the repository's
CVSROOT/config file. The problem occurs when TopLevelAdmin=yes, but
not when TopLevelAdmin=no or when it is omitted from the config file.
While fiddling with this setting fixes the export problem, surely
remote exports *should* work regardless of what TopLevelAdmin is set
to?

Regards,

Tony.
