[cvsnt] Re: cvs commit: cannotopenD:/CVSServer/masterTree/.history, v: Permission denied

[Joe Enfield]

I Remember this problem now.  A co-worker had a similar problem with an
external zip drive mapped to D:
I had him re-map the drive.
The funny thing is that I've always had my CD Drive mapped as D:, and have
never had a problem up 'til now.  I assumed it was because of the repository
merge.
Well, I guess it is not really causing a problem - just an annoyance..

Thanks for all of your input!
