[cvsnt] local repository checkout problem

[Bo Berglund]

No, you want to use a checkout path that is acceptable to CVS. This
means *not* directly below a drive root. For example C:\Projects\TATS

Then for whatever other purposes you need the drive root placement you
create a subst drive:

subst T: C:\Projects\TATS

Now you can work with CVS inside the C:\Projects\TATS folder and with
whatever you have that requires direct drive location from T:



Best regards,

Bo Berglund

Never knew that command existed, thanks.  But won't it accomplish the
opposite of what I need?  I need a virtual path like "F:\TATS" which
points to "E:\".

Unrelated to CVS, you could checkout someplace and then use the Windows
command-line "subst" command to assign your TATS directory to a virtual
drive.

I'm having a problem checking out a module to a local repository.  The
command used is "cvs checkout -d E:\ TATS".  I'm trying to checkout the
module to the windows E:\ drive without the module name "TATS" as the
top
folder.  It creates the top-level files successfully, but as soon as it
gets
to the first folder it starts recursing on the E:\ drive.  The status
messages look something like

U E:/white_no.gif
U E:/white_up.gif
cvs checkout: Updating E:/E:
cvs checkout: Updating E:/E:/E:
cvs checkout: Updating E:/E:/E:/E:
cvs checkout: Updating E:/E:/E:/E:/E:
cvs checkout: Updating E:/E:/E:/E:/E:/E:
...on and on...

Everything works fine using "cvs checkout TATS", however it creates all
the
files under E:\TATS instead of E:\.

Any ideas?
