RE: Unable to increment revision number

[Christopher Cheng]

Oh... Could somebody guide me how to get check_cvs script? I am using cvsnt
and I could not find that in C:\Program Files\cvsnt. 

Could somebody guide me how to edit those files by hand (even removing some
revisions) so that my colleagues can continue to work on it for the time
being?

Thanks in advance

That RCS file has definitely been corrupted.  I strongly suggest you run
the contrib/check_cvs script to check all the files in your repository
for corruption.  Unless you've been modifying that RCS file with
something other than CVS or RCS, you have a serious system integrity
issue that you need to track down and fix.  If you are accessing your
repository with some kind of network file system, that is almost
certainly the problem.  If not, you may well have a hardware problem of
some sort.
