[GRASS5] CVS tag/upload problems

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

at time we seem to have a problem with CVS, perhaps due to
my tag applied to release branch?

David reports the same. Myself, I can upload without problems.

Maybe
  cvs up -dpA 

helps to clean off the sticky tag? Did you update using the tag? I am clueless
here, but it should be generally easy to resolve.

If things are back to work, check, that you still work in release_branch:
cat CVS/Entries

-> check for "Treleasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0" after every file.

Sorry for these problems. CVS gurus: Is it forbidden to tag the release
branch (if yes, why doesn't cvs check that?).

Confused,

 Markus
