Hi,
We have recently had a problem with cvs running on Windows 2000. When
we do any cvs action the following is embedded in the cvs output:
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `ModuleName1'
cvs server: warning: NULL value for key `ModuleName2'
This appears to point to some form of corruption in the repository
somewhere, who knows where! Any thoughts on this message?
Also, when we do a command like ls or checkout on a module, we get a
message of the form:
cvs -d:ntserver:<servername>:/<repo> ls ModuleName1
cvs server: cannot chdir to D:/cvs/cvsrepo/<repo>/ad:No such file or dir
Note that the path its trying to chdir to is not what we would expect at
all.
Interestingly though when I change the capitalisation of ModuleName1 to
anything other than the capitalisation it is in the repository there is
no problem. So the following works:
cvs -d:ntserver:<servername>:/<repo> ls MOduleName1
cvs -d:ntserver:<servername>:/<repo> ls MoDuleName1
cvs -d:ntserver:<servername>:/<repo> ls ModUleName1
cvs -d:ntserver:<servername>:/<repo> ls ModuLeName1
etc...
Any thoughts on this? Any help would be appreciated!
