cvs commit: Examining .

[Jirong Hu-3]

I haven't used CVS for some time. But I am not new to SCM tools.

What I did is (in CVS Linux server):
1. Use "adminuser", I added a new directory called projects/project2 to cvs, without run "cvs commit"
2. Use "root", I ran a "cvs update -d" to see that new project2, and added a new file called readme.txt under project2,

Now I can't commit or update anything from both users. Below is the error message:

[adminuser@localhost projects]$ cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Examining project1
cvs commit: Examining project2
[adminuser@localhost projects]$ pwd
/home/adminuser/projects
[adminuser@localhost projects]$ cvs update
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: Updating project1
cvs update: Updating project2

[root@localhost project2]# cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .
[root@localhost project2]#

How can I resolve this? And why I can add a new file under a un-committed new directory?

Thanks
Jirong

The cvs "commit" operation does nothing to directories; it only works
for files.

Once a directory is added to the repository, there are no further
operations necessary to add files to, and use, that directory.

Directories are added to the repository immediately, there's no need to
commit.

You should never run CVS as root.  By default, CVS will not allow root
to commit any changes.  When you add a new file, you need to do ``cvs
add'' to tell CVS that you want it to control it.  After you do that,
you'll be able to commit it (as some user other than root).
