Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 20:44:08 +0300 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="koi8-r" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Hello, I tried a "cvs co -r mytag myproj" and receive the following: cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open directory .../CVS/mypoj/Attic: Not a directory It is true -- since i have deleted nothing in myproj yet, i don't have Attic in it. But why is it impossible to checkout a tag or revision if module doesn't contain Attics? After i manually mkdir _empty_ Attic in .../CVS/mypoj cvs was satisfied and checked out mytag. Is this a BUG? If yes, then is there a workaround? My configuration: cygwin1.dll: 1.3.6-6 CVSROOT: :local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/CVS Thank you, Alexei Lioubimov -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
