Hi,
I do the following:
I start a new project with cvs import. I delete the old source and do a
cvs checkout and all looks ok. However, the next thing I do is try and
create a branch. So I do a cvs tag –b and I get this error:
Cvs [tag aborted] can not rename file … : File exists.
My question is why do I get this error and what can I do to fix and or
even better stop it occurring in the first place? I’m using the latest
version of cvsnt on a windows XP platform. The CVSROOT is on another
machine but I access it via a mounted drive (using the –N option).
I have had this problem before and the way I have fixed it is to open
the offending file in the appropriate application and close it again and
then its ok. I tried that this time and it didn’t work. I also tried
restarting the server and checking to see if any other application has
the file open and and there are non.
Any ideas how to sort this out?
Thanks.
