CVS diff and loginfo

[Tommy McNeese]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get  a cvs diff inside of a script that's called from loginfo. I've tried both the script that I wrote and log_accum from cvs/contrib but they both produce the same problem, which is on certain files the cvs diff can not find the file being diffed. It reports the error: cvs diff: cannot find blah.txt

 

I'm using cvs version 1.11.22 on both the client and the server. I'm using pserver. I've tried running pserver on a Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 machine, with the same results. I added debug code, into the script that gets called from loginfo, to print out the contents of the temporary directory that cvs creates during a commit, and the file that was commited is not listed in there. It appears there is a race issue, the file is getting deleted before loginfo is called.

 

Is this a known issue? I've looked on web and this mailing list and did not find a similar problem. If I run the cvs diff command outside of the script, it works fine.

 

This problem does not happen on every file.

 

Thanks,

Tommy
