Hi there...
Doing a 'checkout' with cvsnt under WindowsNT with a network drive
as current working directory gives the following error:
[checkout aborted] Cannot rename CVS/Enties.extra to CVS/Entries.extra
(invalid argument)
(No problem with Win2K.)
I have taken a look into the source-code an I think I have found the bug.
Unfortunately
I cannot compile the sources to verify my solution.
in cvsnt/src/entries.c line 159 it says:
entexfilename= CVSADM_ENTEXT;
and later in line 200:
rename_file (entexfilename, CVSADM_ENTEXT);
To be in sync with the similiar Lines for the CVS/Entries file, line 159
must be changed to
entexfilename= CVSADM_ENTEXTBAK;
(I am still wondering, why this works on local disks?!)
It would be great if someone could fix this, compile cvsnt and send me the
result :-)
Jan
