Re: Can't see my folders in CVS

[Terence <tk.lists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, added a project and then right clicked on it and did a "Team > Share 
project..."

Then I added it to my CVS reposititory and gave it a new module name.

Why does it always say that the "module exists" even when I've just 
created it and it cirtainly did not exist. Then it asks me to synchronise.

At this point I don't know what the hell is going on but I press "yes" 
anyway (otherwise it appears to do nothing and then takes me back a step)

It then asks me to select a tag. I only have 2 choices - "head", and 
"branches". I choose "head".

It does some stuff and presto! I have a new panel in my perespecive 
"syncronize - outgoing mode". Not sure what that is but can guess.

This is the second project I'm trying this with because the first one 
did nothing. So when playing around with the right-click menu, I figure 
you have to do a "commit" ot soemthing. So when I do, it says I need to 
add it first, so I say "yes" at which point it gives me the following error.
"-f server: failed to create lock directory for 
'...path/cvs/cvs-test/CVStest'(...path/cvs/cvs-test/CVStest/#cvs.lock): 
No such file or directory"
"-f server: lock failed - giving up"
"-f [server aborted]: lock failed - giving up"

Then I right click on the root project (in the "structure compare" 
window in the "Syncronize" panel) and select "add to version control". 
It briefly pops up a progress bar and returns. Then I click on the root 
again and say "commit..." then eclipse returns the same error from the 
CVS server as mentioned above.

Of course, when I go to my CVS perspective and try to expand the HEAD 
under said repository, I don't get a thing - same as before.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS.
I'm really keen to get this working because I've just introduced CVS to 
our development team and they are looking to me for advice on how to use 
it. I'm still learning it myself (the blind leading the blind).
