sticky date on added/removed files not removed by cvs update -A

[Touzeau, Roy F]

We are running version 1.11.17.

 

After an update (merge) using cvs update –j –j my entries file might look something like:

 

/lx_drwho.nb/1.5/Fri Jun 25 01:14:55 2004//D2005.11.02.18.51.39

/lx_express.nb/0/Thu Jun 24 07:03:01 2004//D2005.11.02.18.51.39

/lx_inn.nb/-1.13/Fri Aug  6 10:23:56 2004//D2005.11.02.18.51.39

 

Where lx_express.nb is a newly added file and lx_inn.nb is a file that was removed.

 

After cvs update –A these will look like:

 

/lx_drwho.nb/1.5/Fri Jun 25 01:14:55 2004//

/lx_express.nb/0/Thu Jun 24 07:03:01 2004//D2005.11.02.18.51.39

/lx_inn.nb/-1.13/Fri Aug  6 10:23:56 2004//D2005.11.02.18.51.39

 

A cvs commit will fail with these last 2 lines in the Entries file.

 

This looks like a bug to me. Has it been fixed? Or, is there a reason for this behavior?

 

Thanks for any information about this problem.
