Chad,
 
From your brief description I believe you are trying to use a graphical merge tool.  You need to read the manual about using the inbuilt CVS merge facility (see the update command).
 
Also based on previous correspondence with LMCO I think you are using CVSNT, if so be sure to contact the CVSNT newsgroup with any problems not the this CVS newsgroup.
 
Remember for anyone to help you - you need to publish things like the exact commands and the exact error messages.
 
Regards,
 
 
Arthur Barrett

To anyone that can help,
Here is little info about our CVS repository: 
We have an existing CVS repository with files in the repository called FOO ( pretend name) for a project called foobar.   Foobar currently has two different phases in which of the software is being developed called phase 1 and phase 2.  Phase 1 is the baseline of code that is in the cvs repository baseline called FOO. Phase 2 builds off the phase 1 baseline expanding functionality.  Phase1 is still under development while phase 2 development is going on.

Here is what I did to make a problem I believe:
Phase 2 software needs to be added to foo cvs repository. To add the new phase 2 files that are not part of the phase 1 baseline, I added the new phase 2 files as a branch and all files added without a problem.  Now I need to merge the new phase 2 files into the phase 1 baseline except the phase1 baseline cannot see the new files that are on the phase 2 branch and vice versa for phase 1.  My question is how do I get the phase 2 branched files to be part of the phase 1 in cvs?

Thanks for the help,
Chad
