Last night I tried some experiments in an attempt to duplicate the problem that's been discussed in this thread. (Namely: CVSup in checkout mode replaced a symlink-to-directory with a real directory.) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it happen. I also inspected the relevant code, and couldn't see an obvious way for it to happen. So I have several questions for those who have experienced this problem: 1. Was NFS involved in any way? 2. Please bracket the date when it happened as tightly as possible. I.e., definitely after XX date, but definitely before YY date. 3. If anybody has the log output from the offending run, that would really help. 4. You didn't fiddle with that symlink around that time, did you? Thanks, John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
