Description Oliver Schoett CLA 2003-12-17 13:03:24 EST 
Setting: CVS server 1.12.3 on AIX, Eclipse 2.1.1 on Windows XP with the cvs.jar
patch (2003-10-20) from bug 45138.

A file has been checked out by Developers A and B; Developer A deletes the file
and commits (B has made no changes to the file).

Developer B does "Team -> Synchronize with Repository..." in Eclipse Java
Perspective on the directory containing the file.  Effect: the file is not shown
as deleted (no error message).

Developer B does "Team -> Synchronize with Repository..." in Eclipse Java
Perspective on the file itself.  Effect: Eclipse Popup "Internal error" and an
exception trace in .metadata/.log (see attachment).

Going back to CVS 1.11.10 on the server fixed the problem.

Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-12-17 17:01:53 EST 
I haven't conformed this particulr failure yet but there does seem to be some 
major differences in 1.12.x that are causing problems (at least in the 
automated tests). Will investigate.
Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-01-30 09:46:34 EST 
Given that 1.12 is a feature release of CVS, we will deal with any 
incompatibilities nearer the end of 3.0.

A patch to the CVS core plugin to handle file deletion in CVS 1.12.x

This is a small patch to the 2.1.3 release of the cvs core plugin for Eclipse.
It handles the new message format that CVS version 1.12.x uses to inform of
files that have been moved to the attic and should therefore be removed from
the user's local copy. It should be backwards compatible with CVS version
1.11.x, but this has not been tested.

Updated CVS core plugin with patch applied for Eclipse 2.1.3

Patched 2.1.3 CVS core plugin
Comment 8 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-05-07 09:40:14 EDT 
Thanks for the patch. It has been applied to 3.0 and does not impact 1.11.x 
compatibility. Leaving open to allow people to find the patch to 2.1.3 (and as 
a reminder to add it to the FAQ).
Comment 9 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-05-14 13:25:16 EDT 
FAQ updated. LEaving open to make patches available
Comment 10 Michael Valenta CLA 2006-06-15 16:17:37 EDT 
FAQ has been updated to point at the patches. No further action is planned.
