cvs export removes editors entries

[Stefan]

Hi,

I have just discovered what may be a bug in cvs,
but could not find any reference to it in any
discussion groups or web.

OS:          SuSe Linux 8.0

cvs version: 1.11.1p1 on cvs server
             1.11.1p1 on client1
             1.11.6   on client2

I have some files checked out (with cvs admin -l locking),
which are correctly listed by 'cvs editors'.

The 'CVS/fileattr' file in the repository contains a '_editors' entry:

FPage.class     _watchers=stefan>commit,frank>tedit+tunedit+tcommit;_editors=fra
nk>Wed Sep 17 10:14:57 2003 GMT+dale+/w/intranet.makalumedia.com/dev/frank


cvs -tw export -N -rMM_INTRANET_1_1 -d cvs-test .


There are no warning/errors reported during the export, trace for the
file is:

S-> checkout (/home/intranet/cvs-intranet-master/source/PageClasses/Page.class,v
, 1.1, , (function))
S-> server_register(Page.class, 1.1, , , MM_INTRANET_1_1, , )
S-> Register(Page.class, 1.1, , , MM_INTRANET_1_1 )
 -> rename(.new.Page.clas,Page.class)

After the export, the _editors (& watch) entry for the checkout
in CVS/fileattr have disappeared, and subsequently a 'cvs editors'
on the client does not list the checked out files:

FPage.class     _watchers=stefan>commit


The last checked in revs of the files correctly appear in the exported dir.


Is this a bug? Perhaps there is a workaround?

Any tips are welcome,
regards,
Stefan Ronsiek
