===================================================================
   Working revision:    1.1.1.1
   Repository revision: 1.1    
/home/jql/cvsroot/project_ToRest/logs/debug.log,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)

cvs [update aborted]: cannot create
.#debug.log.1.1.1.1 for copying: Permission denied

debug.log should be in logs/debug.log, at this point i
chowned the logs dir(as it is www-data owned). doing
cvs update again:

cvs update: cannot change mode of file debug.log:
Operation not permitted
RCS file:
/home/jql/cvsroot/project_ToRest/logs/debug.log,v
retrieving revision 1.1.1.1
retrieving revision 1.1
Merging differences between 1.1.1.1 and 1.1 into
debug.log
cvs [update aborted]: cannot create debug.log for
copying: Permission denied

then i chowned the debug.log. 

then rm, cvs rm, cvs commit succeeded..

i guess the permission is giving me all the problems. 

now, how well does cvs handle the different ownership
file?

thanks for your help. Larry
