TortoiseCVS irritation...

by Mark Joyal · in Torque Game Engine · 08/09/2004 (2:38 pm) · 1 replies

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have this small irritation with TortoiseCVS whenever I try to update my Torque checkout. For some strange reason (and this only happens on Torque, none of my other projects exhibit this behavior) TortoiseCVS tries to do this first:

In c:\Temp\: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-z3" "version"
CVSROOT=:pserver:xxxx@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque

cvs [server aborted]: "version" requires write access to the repository

after that fails in then follows through and does the update just fine. It's only a minor irritation to me but i'd like to stop it from doing this and I can't for the life of me figure out how, why it started doing it, or for that matter...what the "version" argument is trying to accomplish. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks!

-Mark

@Mark: I don't know why you have a "version" parameter there as I always tell it to get the HEAD release so the only parameter it uses is -z3 for compression, otherwise it's default Tortoise. Here's the command line that Tortoise produces which works fine:
In D:\torque\tge: C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe -z3 update -d -P

Here's my CVSROOT which works with Torque:
:pserver:userid:password@cvs.garagegames.com:/cvs/torque
Module name is torque.

I would suggest you blow away what you have and do a clean checkout and see if that works.

Edit: added my own CVS command line to see what Tortoise was producing.
