Probably this has been found before, but I didn't find it in BUGS or in
a quick search of issue reports on cvshome.org.
I have found that CVS has problems if you use a slash(/) character in
a tag/branch name. The tag is created ok and you can checkout/update
using that tag.. however, cvs status will then report "Entry Invalid"
and new revisions can't be committed on such a branch.
Example:
% cvs update -r RELEASE/1_1 file
P file
% cvs status file
cvs server: file is no longer in the repository
===================================================================
File: file Status: Entry Invalid
Working revision: 1.5
Repository revision: No revision control file
Sticky Tag: RELEASE - MISSING from RCS file!
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)
1.5 is the correct revision for the RELEASE/1_1 tag, but see how the
sticky tag has been truncated at the slash character.
CVS/Tag has:
NRELEASE/1_1
CVS/Entries has:
/file/1.5/Tue Jul 26 17:00:25 2005//TRELEASE
Perhaps a problem because Entries file uses slash as a separator?
I'm using cvs 1.11.6 on Solaris with pserver access.
Thanks,
