Hi A file having its extension in capital letters, image_cust1.JPG, was accidentally deleted by a user, instead of, being renamed to image_cust1.cap. I am the CVS Admin and have direct ssh access to the linux Repository server and our users including myself, use WinCVS and Windows commandline to access CVS. I CD'd to the subfolder where the file was deleted and ran the following commands from a DOS prompt (in the first command, should the file before (greaterThanSign) > be image_cust1.JPG or .jpg or does it matter?) C:\MyCVS\images>cvs -Q update -p -r 1.1 image_cust1.JPG > image_cust1.jpg C:\MyCVS\images>cvs add -kb image_cust1.jpg cvs server: image_cust1.jpg has already been entered C:\MyCVS\images>cvs ci -m "revived jpg image" image_cust1.jpg cvs server: cannot add file `image_cust1.jpg' when RCS file `/repo/images/image_cust1.jpg,v' already exists cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first! C:\MyCVS\images>cvs update cvs server: Updating . A image_cust1.jpg C:\MyCVS\images> As you can see, when I do an update, I see the file pending with an add status but committing it will cause an error. Any ideas or help please.
