There's a known problem with spurious "in the way" errors which survive even removal and re-creation of the sandbox. A good description of this problem was provided back in 2001: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2001-03/msg00163.html Read through the discussion and note that the problem did NOT go away after creation of a new sandbox.Nor was a satisfactory resolution to the problem obtained. A Google search indicates about 2000 references to problems of this nature, so it is reasonably common. The CVS documentation does not address the issue directly. We see this problem too, but have some insight into what is causing it. The problem is created when a commit to a remote project is made when the clock on the server and client are hours apart. This can occur because the time zone was set incorrectly on the client. This seems to create an out-of-sync condition in the repository that cannot be easily resolved. How can this be cleaned up?
