Re: checking files out, not in a directory of <project name>, is it possible?

[Antony Stace]

I just tried

cvs co -d . watermeter

and got an error

wtr005:/tmp/wtr> cvs co -d . watermeter
cvs server: existing repository /usr/local/cvsroot does not match
/usr/local/cvsroot/watermeter
cvs server: ignoring module watermeter

and to show cvs is infact working....

wtr005:/tmp/wtr> cvs co  watermeter
cvs server: Updating watermeter
U watermeter/Imakefile
U watermeter/Makefile
U watermeter/Makefile.am
U watermeter/Makefile.in
U watermeter/README
U watermeter/wtridef.h
U watermeter/wtrinc.h
U watermeter/wtrinit.c
U watermeter/wtrmain.c
U watermeter/wtrsend.c
wtr005:/tmp/wtr> 

What am I doing wrong?
