RE: Cannot add file on non-branch tag

[Gurpreet Singh (SCM)]

Hi

I am doing the checkout from a empty dir say ( C:\temp ) and it returns
error  saying No CVS/Entries file is there ..... 
Also if we copy the CVS folder (having the preferences/root/entries)  to
(c:\temp), then the co goes without any error.

My requirement is to get the code on a specified location thru the command
line without shortening the module paths (-N option)


Regards
Gurpreet S

That probably means that c:\temp\ModuleName already exists -- checkout
really wants to create a new directory.
