[cvsnt] "Failed to obtain lock..." when releasing

[Bo Berglund]

AFAIK you cannot release a module folder that is not inside a sandbox itself.
The reason is that all cvs commands look for directions on the CVS server in
the CVS subfolder in the current dir and if you want to release the top
folder then you are probably located in the folder above, which is not a
sandbox (with a CVS subfolder).

Might be wrong, but this is what i believe to be the case.

Hi,

I get the following error message when I try to release my project folder:

cvs.exe [release aborted]: Failed to obtain lock on /.directory_history,v: 
FAIL Lock not within repository

My CVSROOT is ":local:/Dev/CVSRoot" and this is the command line that's used 
when trying to release:

"K:\Dev\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "-Q" "release" "-d" "-f" "DEV_SMARTPOS"

"DEV_SMARTPOS" foder is in K:\ and has several sub-folders. It is OK when I 
try to release any of the subfolders but NOT OK when releasing the project 
root. The project root *is* a module inside the repository.

I need to release everything in one go, please advise on a possible 
resolution/workaround

Kind Regards,
Archie
