RE: Problem with Entries file

[Matt Dowding]

Larry,

Thanks for the response.

The module is not listed in the modules file.

My CVS client does not seem to support the tracing option (i.e. cvs co -t
<module> fails as it does not like the -t).

The Entries.Log file looks like this :-

D

The Entries.Log file looks like this :-

A D/solaris-sparc////

One thing I have discovered is that the files appear ok (and cvs status
works) if I explicitly request a recursive checkout (cvs co -R <module>).
On the previous CVS repository I used (Solaris client/Solaris server) I
never had to do this.  Is there some kind of configuration parameter that
makes recursive checkout the default?

Thanks,

Matt

I cannot reproduce this problem.  Is your module just a plain directory,
or is it defined in the modules file?  If the latter, please show us the
definition.  Also, please run the checkout with tracing enabled (-t) and
show us the trace.  And please check for a CVS/Entries.Log file in
addition to CVS/Entries.
