RE: Problem finding lock

[Simon Renshaw]

I am using regular CVS 1.11.21 on the server and also used that client
to do the commit.

I restored a backup from the beginning of the month and the error is
gone.

And we don't see the directory when we do a checkout from within
Eclipse. Since this is what I wanted, problem solved.

But now I need to know how it got corrupted since we didn't touch the
code that was in that directory (not made by us).

Now, if I want to run that script, I just need to remember where CVS is
installed.

Are you perhaps using CVSNT rather than regular CVS?  I don't find any
trace of that error message in the CVS sources.

Restoring that file from a backup -- the message pretty clearly
indicates that the repository file has been corrupted.  You may want to
try running the contrib/validate_repo (or contrib/check_cvs depending on
which release of CVS you have) script against your repository to see if
any other files are also damaged.  You should also try to figure out how
the file got corrupted so you can prevent future damage.
