CVS: what am I doing wrong?
by Rodney (OldRod) Burns · in Torque Game Engine · 04/16/2002 (6:40 pm) · 4 replies
I got the torque release 1_1_1 quite a while back using CVS. No problem.
Now, tonight, I'm trying to get the HEAD release. I log in, tell it to checkout a module. Enter a local folder, select the HEAD branch and it exits with code 1.
What am I doing wrong? :(

Well, that's what I was going to do, but that option is greyed out :( So I was trying a new checkout.

I did the same thing today and had the same problems. I had originally checked out Version_1_1_1 or whatever, and when I attempted to do updates, it appeared to be trying to update to Version_1_1_1, which hasn't changed.
However, when I checked out HEAD, it updated everything and even merged with my changes with only minor conflicts.... so maybe my problem wasn't the same as yours, but at least it explains why you need to do a full checkout.
What is the command line you're using? Make sure HEAD is spelled correctly, and if I were you I'd checkout "torque" and get it all... after you've done that then later you'll be able to selectively update portions of code to the current HEAD.

Note: This is not for the weak-hearted... using the HEAD version isn't always a good thing, but if you're making engine changes or you need the latest and greatest because of recent bug fixes and you're a decent coder *and* you don't mind dealing with possible problems then go for it.

Hrm forgot one more thing... what is the error message (not just the code)?

Checkout doesn't do a full download... it still attempts to merge what you already have.I did the same thing today and had the same problems.

I was trying to get "Torque" and it needed "torque". Didn't realize it was case sensitive :)
Thanks for the help guys.

I just login, find my local Torque folder then click "update folder" and it'll update me to the HEAD and do the merge and document the conflicts with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>, ================, and <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
