Description Hemang Lavana CLA 2008-11-17 11:39:01 EST 
Build ID: 3.4.1 M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. I have used RSE plugin to create an empty project called "tmp" on a remote linux host via ssh from windows platform.

2. I connected to cvs repository via "extssh" and tried to checkout a small cvs module called "ttsw-dev" into the remote project "tmp"

3. It throws the following error:

***
cvs co -d "ttsw-dev" -P -A "/tmp/ttsw-dev"
    cvs checkout: Updating ttsw-dev
failed due to an internal error (took 0:01.921)
   Error: The file store does not exist
      Error: The file store does not exist
***



More information:
So, it seems like cvs plugin may have to take special care in checking out files into remote project? Or will it automatically be taken care of by using EFS APIs for all file access.

For more info on RSE plugin, please see:

Same issues on Linux Eclipse Galileo.  Basically RSE and CVS do not interoperate in any useful way.  This bug has been open for nearly 2 years.  Does this indicate that nobody uses CVS any more?  Should I be migrating to SVN?

I think SVN will have the same problem. We have no plans to look at it. Sorry.
