Greetings,
In the course of normal development, at least two entire directories of files
were removed for a particular revision.
I find myself needing to go back to an earlier revision of the project before
the deletion of these files.
I have two different situations on my hands now, both bad:
1. directory a/b is in the 'Attic' of a, but running either cvs checkout -r
revold or cvs update -d -r revold does not bring these files into my working
copy.
2. directory c/d is NOT in the 'Attic' of c. Does this mean that they are
lost and must be restored from backup? How do I then reconcile the revisions
so it looks like I want?
Situation 1 is distressing because I can't access the files or the directory
of b. What can I do about this?
Situation 2 is weirder and I don't know the exact commands that were used to
delet these files. Looking at CVSROOT/history only shows 'R' for those files
with no removal of the directory.
Am I looking at CVS bugs?
Any help would be appreciated.
