Re: cvs update: move away xyz; it is in the way

[Chad Loder]

Hi Larry.

Let's take an example directory from my sandbox.

Here is the result of 'cvs update -dP':

   cvs server: Updating shared/java/com/rapid7/net/http
   cvs update: move away shared/java/com/rapid7/net/http/HTTPClient.java; 
it is in the way

   (yada yada yada, repeat message for each file in the directory)

I notice a disparity between the timestamps in the CVS/Entries file
for that directory, and the timestamps of the actual files as
reported by `ls -l`.

For example, `ls -l` reports:

-rw-r--r--   1 chadlode None          726 Mar  5 11:02 Makefile.mk

whereas the CVS/Entries file contains:

/Makefile.mk/1.4/Mon Mar  5 19:02:18 2001//

That is, the CVS/Entries file says "7:02 pm", but the local filesystem
says "11:02 am" -- could this be the problem? I smell some bad timezone
math or something...


Here's the entire CVS/Entries file:

/HTTPClient.java/1.2/Fri Mar  2 14:01:39 2001//
