Re: Correct way to add a new file with an "old" filename in CVS ??

[Peter Biechele]

I tried it again on different files and this time it worked.

The times it DID NOT work I got errors from the file system like:

"NFS Error: Stale File handle ..."

After this message everything with this file seems to be screwed up. So it 
seems to be a problem with the NFS System ????

Does anybody have these problems too ?

Thanks !
