Re: [BorCVS-support] absolute pathname '...' illegal for server

[Thomas B. <th...@bl...>]

Hello!

The error obviously results from CVS missinterpreting the "-d" switch as a 
CVSROOT specification. According to the Cederqvist manual the update 
command has a "-d" switch that tells CVS to create any missing 
directories, and that's how it's implemented in BorCVS. I don't know why, 
in your case, CVS suddenly interprets the "-d" as a global option instead 
of an update option, because it's written _after_ the update command...

You can try to disable the "create missing directories" switch, which 
should inhibit the "-d" switch and should be ok in your case.

Maybe some CVS guru can bring some light into this behaviour...

cheers,
