Hi: I'm using cvs v1.11.5 and I've noticed some odd behaviour. If I execute
the incantation:
cvs export -D now -d . a/b/somefile
on a local repository, I get the expected version of somefile in the directory I
executed from. However, if I have CVS_RSH=ssh and CVSROOT set to point at the
exact same repository, but prefixed with :ext:address@hidden: and work from
another machine, the above incantation fails with:
[export aborted]: cannot export into a working directory.
If I replace the . with a new directory name, it works fine, as does a checkout.
I found something about a bug close to this at
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2001-05/msg00040.html but I'm not using
pserver and I was under the impression that export did not ever create the CVS
admin directory, so I'm a bit stumped.
Can someone explain what could be happening, if its a bug, and, if so, is it
fixed in a later version or still outstanding.
Thanks in advance for any insight provided.. Mike
