Package: cvs Version: 1:1.12.9-9 Severity: wishlist
Cvs add should check to make sure the necessary files are available before it goes out onto the network to contact the server. It's a bit annoying to accidentally type the wrong file name to CVS, type a password, and only *then* be told that the file doesn't exist. I find it happens relatively often with CVS add of a directory, because I can never remember whether I need to mkdir before cvs or not. Here's an example: mint:0501course$ cvs add 02_2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: <long secret passphrAse> cvs server: nothing known about 02_2005 mint:0501course$ mkdir 02_2005 mint:0501course$ cvs add 02_2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: <long secret passphrAse> Directory /home/gpk/CVSROOT/0501course/02_2005 added to the repository mint:0501course$ -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages cvs depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: cvs/rotatekeep: 7 * cvs/badrepositories: create cvs/pserver_warning: cvs/rotatekeep_nondefault: no cvs/rotate_individual: true cvs/pserver_repos_individual: true cvs/pserver_setspawnlimit: false cvs/rotatekeep_individual: 7 cvs/pserver_repos: all * cvs/pserver: false cvs/cvs_conf_is_dead: * cvs/repositories: /export/big/CVSROOT cvs/pserver_spawnlimit: 400 cvs/rotatehistory: no -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
