Gianni,

You did not answer my question.  It works on Linux, but not an Windows.  My
question is why?  And the checkout is done in a directory that does NOT
already have a test directory.

> cvs checkout: move away test/dir1/file2.txt; it is in the way

This means the file test/dir1/file2.txt already exists.  Is that the case ?
If so, try the command in a directory where it does not exist.

Strangely, the second checkout (see below) will fail with cvs.exe that ships
with WinCVS 1.2 and WinCVS 1.3b4.  However, it works on Linux with cvs
1.10.5 and cvs 1.11.  Is this a bug?  Why does it work on Linux and fail on
Windows?

Given this repository structure:

  test/file1.txt
  test/dir1/file2.txt

  tag both files with "test_tag"

  cvs co test test/dir1             // this works
  cvs co -rtest_tag test test/dir1  // this fails -- WHY?

The error is:

  cvs checkout: move away test/dir1/file2.txt; it is in the way


Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Olaf
