[cvsnt] Re: How do I add a single file?

[Siegfried Heintze]

Glen,
OK, I tried that and it still does not work. Below are my two attempts:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs -d /c//CONVEX add -m "temp
fil
e: delete this" EditCaseWorkSiegShafi.pl
cvs [add aborted]: /c//CONVEX/CVSROOT: No such file or directory

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>cvs -d c:\CONVEX add -m "temp
file
: delete this" EditCaseWorkSiegShafi.pl
cvs add: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `c:\CONVEX')
cvs add: when using local access method.
cvs [add aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: `c:\CONVEX'.

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\cgi-bin>


   Thanks,
      Siegfried

You need to run cvs add from within a sandbox, and it will added to the 
corresponding location in the repository.  Also, adding only marks a 
file for addition.  You need to commit before it will actually be added 
to the repository.

	<< in your sandbox >>
	cvs add foo.pl
	cvs ci -m "adding test file" foo.pl
