Re: Have I got a corrupt repository?

I think that someone added a file to CVS in a way that didn't involve
typing the name of the file.  People should really avoid naming files
with characters that are not printable ASCII.  Theoretically it shouldn't
matter, but CVS is known to get indigestion when file names contain white
space.  Such files also tend to disappear when you run "ls" because
formatting can be misleading.

A cvs commit will only print=20

    Up-to-date check failed for `<filename>'

where <filename> is the name of a <filename>,v that corresponds to the a
file that exists in the repository.

The other odd characters are not normally part of cvs output.

cvs will normally print

    warning: <filename> is not (any longer) pertinent

where <filename> is the name of a <filename>,v that corresponds to the a
file that exists in the repository.

I agree that something odd is happening to you.
