I use CVS for development on my Linux laptop.
There's some software that I work on that is cross-platform. I like
to keep the source for that software in a VFAT partition, so it's
accessible from both Linux and Windows.
However, when I do a CVS pull from Linux onto the VFAT filesystem, I
get tons of errors:
cvs checkout: cannot change mode of
EZFilter/edu/umich/eecs/wherefid/WheryQuery/FilterableXMLDoc.java: Operation
not permitted
Those are tolerable, but when I try to do an update I see things like
this:
? edu/umich/eecs/wherefid/WheryServer/cvs
and nothing seems to work right.
CVS works fine under Cygwin on the same filesystem, so it must know
how to operate correctly on a case-insensitive filesystem.
Does anybody have advice for making this work?
Thanks!
