Re: can't add with wincvs

[Steve Buehler]

Ok.  I was able to get a private key setup and running so that it logs me 
in.  Now I am running into another problem.  I can connect to the 
server.  In fact, in WinCVS, I can even do a create which gives me the 
following reply in WinCVS:
cvs init

*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

Now.  When I go again and click on a file to add (testz.php), then click on 
the "Add Selected" button, I get this:
cvs add testz.php (in directory C:\ijobs\cvs\)
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing

*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****

Is there something else that I have to do to get administration files into 
the directory?  What are the administration files?  As it is, here are the 
files that are in the CVSROOT directory that I am trying to access:
.#checkoutlist  .#rcsinfo       config         loginfo,v  taginfo,v
.#commitinfo    .#taginfo       config,v       modules    val-tags
.#config        .#verifymsg     cvswrappers    modules,v  verifymsg
.#cvswrappers   Emptydir/       cvswrappers,v  notify     verifymsg,v
.#editinfo      checkoutlist    editinfo       notify,v
.#loginfo       checkoutlist,v  editinfo,v     rcsinfo
.#modules       commitinfo      history        rcsinfo,v
.#notify        commitinfo,v    loginfo        taginfo

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve
