[cvsnt] Re: Why "nothing known about" message?

[Jakob Kruse]

Hello everyone.

I get the same error now, and no complicated modules are involved. What is 
involved is "cvs rename".

I have a folder structure in my repository like root\a\b\c. I had a file in 
directory "b", which I first moved to directory "a" using cvs rename. Then 
later I moved it to directory "c" using cvs rename again. Now I get the 
"nothing known about ..." error every time I update my sandbox.

How do I get rid of it?

I have set up a new module for a program I need to write.
This is not defined in any modules or modules2 file, insetad I have just
added the folder and the files of this Delphi project to an existing module.

But this project needs a rather complex set of dependent files from other 
modules
in several repositories (that's why modules or modules2 will not work).
So I have created a batch file to check out the dependent files into 
subfolders
in the new module. So right now I have:

MainModule
 |- A
 |- B
 |- C
 |- D
 |- E
 |- F

Some of these dependent modules are checked out in extenso (all contained 
files).
But in some of them I have only needed a few files so I arranged the batch 
file
to check out only the wanted files.
This works fine until I want to do an update from MainModule.
At this time I get this response (with the real file/folder names):

***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****

Note that for some reason "nothing is known" about the GraphicItem and 
Sprite modules.
(I have very similar module names Sprite vs. Sprites etc but they *are* 
different...)

Here is the CVS/Entries file from the MainModule:

If I manually enter the two "unknown" folders and do an update all is 
fine...

cvs ver
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.34 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41 (client/server)

Any ideas?
