No such directory when transferring files using CVS from Eclipse
I am using Eclipse exclusively as a CVS client. Basically it works pretty well, but every now and then when I right-click a file to commit it (the file it says itself is modified and ready to commit) it tells me: "cvs [server aborted]: no such directory `... '
But the directory exists ?! If I go to the folder using tortoiseshell CVS and right click to commit, does it work fine? (this way I finally have to get these files)
Has anyone experienced this, and more importantly, has anyone solved it? :) I am running Vista on a client PC and the CVS server is Windows Server 2003 (please don't tell me to just switch to Linux - it doesn't help much ).
Thank you very much for your help!

Not sure about Eclipse, but I faced the same issue with WinCVS client. I could do CVS operations once I copied a folder CVS
in each directory along the way.
For example: suppose I am in C:\source\dir1
. I choose flat-view and find the contour of the file C:\source\dir1\dir2\dir3\file.cpp
, I should have a folder CVS
that is present in each of the following directories: dir1
, dir2
and dir3
. If one or more folders are missing, we see the error below.
cvs diff -u -- dir2\dir3\file.cpp (in directory C:\Source\dir1\)
cvs [diff aborted]: no such directory `dir2/dir3'
