RE: Unable to increment revision number

Thanks for the guide, I will definitely try that. By the way, I tried to
edit the file myself. I am able to run 'cvs log -h'

RCS file: /cvsroot/espresso/web/WEB-INF/conf/struts-references.xml,v
Working file: struts-references.xml
head: 1.23
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        r1-1-1: 1.19.0.2
        r1-1: 1.19.0.4
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 24
============================================================================


However, 'cvs update -A' still doesn't get me 1.23. That's very strange. Any
idea?

Look for validate_repo -- I forgot it had been renamed.  If you don't
have it, you can get it from the source distribution:

        <http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/contrib/>

The file name there is validate_repo.in -- normally, you would edit the
first line to have the path to perl (it's a perl script, you'll need to
get that, too, if you don't already have it), but since it appears
you're running on Windows, you'll probably just have to explicitly run
perl, so it won't matter.

Probably not.  Fixing a corrupted RCS file is a black art that requires
extensive knowledge of the RCS file structure and some way of recovering
the missing information.  If you have a recent backup that isn't also
corrupted, you should probably restore it.
