RE: Unable to increment revision number

[Christopher Cheng]

Thanks everybody, to my surprise, I solved everything with the simplest
solution: Restart the CVS services in Windows. 

Although I do not understand why, but after I stop the CVS services, backup
the cvsroot folder and start the services again, everything is back to
normal. 

Thanks everybody for the great help!

  I beg to differ.  What Christopher really, _really_ needs to do is "make
an emergency backup of the entire disk RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND".

....  and *then* start figuring out what went wrong.
