Problems restoring a file |

I'm having trouble resurrecting a file that was removed. I've read section
7.2 of the cederqvist manual, but it doesn't solve my problem. The problem
is that after removing the file and committing the change, I try to
ressurrect it by typing "cvs add oldballs" (oldballs is the name of the
file), which gives me the following message:
cvs add: re-adding file oldballs (in place of dead revision 1.3)
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently
Which looks like it worked, but when I type "cvs commit", I get the
following error:
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `oldballs'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've searched the archives, and it
seems as though I'm using the correct procedure, but it doesn't work..
After searching the web, I came up with the following solution which _does_
work, but I don't think it's the correct way:
cvs update -j1.3 -j1.2 oldballs
when "running cvs status -v oldballs", I get the following output:
===================================================================
File: no file oldballs Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: No entry for oldballs
Repository revision: 1.3 /src/master/cscc09/ass3/Attic/oldballs,v
Existing Tags:
No Tags Exist
So if anyone can tell me why the "add" command doesn't work, I would greatly
appreciate it. Thanks,
Adam
