Update rewrites all local files
by Jon Henderson

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I've been using smartcvs for several years without any problems. But just yesterday, when I went to update my project, all local copies were overwritten including all modified files. Since then, every time I do an update, all local files are overwritten and any local modifications are lost. I've reinstalled smartcvs. Every time I do an update (update -d -P) all local files are overwritten. Updating again rewrites all local files again. I've looked at my system clock and time zone. They are correct. I'm using cvs with other clients. They don't have this problem. I have three types of clients: Mac Windows XP and Windows XP running through VMWare on a Mac All systems worked fine until this problem occurred. It occurred on the VMWare version running XP. It did occur after Windows was acting sluggish. Any ideas. jon ------------------------------------ Yahoo!

Hi Jon,
It would help me a lot if you could provide more details, e.g. what SmartCVS version you are using, what edition you are using (Foundation/Professional), what is the version of your CVS server, what authentication method you are using, where is the working copy located (local hard disk/network share)? -- Best regards, Thomas Singer _____________ syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com Jon Henderson <jon_henderson@...> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been using smartcvs for several years without any problems. > > But just yesterday, when I went to update my project, all local copies > were overwritten including all modified files.

Hi Jon,
If you don't already have deleted it, please keep the original sandbox for further investigation. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer _____________ syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com Jon Henderson <jon_henderson@...> wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > I have no idea what the problem with my system was, but I found a work > around. > > Here is my version.

Or take work files from one machine or directory to another but not the corresponding CVS directories? It certainly points to corrupt CVS/Entries files.

Hi Mike,
I had been successfully using the local sandbox frequently for over a year without any changes to my CVS server configuration. I likely created this sandbox as a new checkout rather than copying from another system. Then, the problem occurred at the same time that Windows was acting up. I worked around the problem by creating a new sandbox from the remote server. All in all, since I was doing relatively frequent updates, I didn't incur much lost time and I am back up and running. Windows does not show any unusual tendencies. I have kept the apparently corrupted sandbox, but don't intend to do anything with it. jon On Jan 21, 2009, at 2:40 AM, Mike Ralphson wrote: > Did you possibly copy a CVS checkout from one machine to another, and > the user names you use to connect to the CVS server on each machine > were different?
