Recently, a CVS update of one of our modules brought in a file that
has been removed for more than a year, and now I am unable to get rid
of it. When I try to commit the removal of the file, I get a "failed
to remove tag" error message:
$ cvs status PriceGuideListContainer.java
=========================================================
File: no file PriceGuideListContainer.java Status: Locally Removed
Working revision: -1.15
Repository revision: 1.15
/cvs/CVS_REPOSIT/<blah>/PriceGuideListContainer.java,v
Sticky Tag: HEAD (revision: 1.15)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
$ cvs commit -m "" PriceGuideListContainer.java
cvs commit: failed to remove tag `HEAD' from `PriceGuideListContainer.java'
$
We were running CVS 1.11 until I ran into this problem. I've since
updated the server and client to 1.11.20, but I still cannot commit
this file to get rid of it.
Does this look like corruption? I also tried running the check_cvs
script from the 1.11.20 installation, but it fails with this message:
$ check_cvs
Unable to read checkoutlist file: No such file or directory
