Re: cvs update: move away xyz; it is in the way

[Gary Heuston]

In our case this happened when we tried to check out a file that existed
in the developers staging area but didn't have anything in the Entries
file associated with it.  This could be happening because a file was
copied manually into the area and then you tried to update it?  In this
case I would suggest you get the file out using CVS so there is an
Entries associated with it then do the copy and update.
