Version Control - Problem
« on: May 31, 2008, 03:04:41 am »
Hello,

I need help to resolve some problems about version control.
I removed my package from version control and removed the package from the repository and now I want to control my package again.
But, I'm having problems when trying to add a package to the repository, when saving I get the following message:

"A file by this name already exists in Version Control."
"Please choose another name."

I need to save this file with the same name in the same repository.
How do I do this?
thank you!  :)

What version control are you using?

I think SVN, for example, has specific mechanisms of disambiguating this situation.

I am using CVS.
But there isn't my file in CVS, because I removed before. And I disconnected the package from version control in EA, too.
I'm having problems when trying to add a package to the repository by EA again.

Hello!!!!!!  :)

I was using the CVS as my version control product
and the problem was solved following the instructions below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you remove a file from CVS, it doesn't actually get removed - CVS puts it in the attic. To completely remove the old file from CVS, you will need to navigate the file system where your CVS repository is held.  Navigate to the repository folder, find the module that you are using for you CVS project, find the "Attic" directory, find the file you wish to remove and delete it.  This will also delete all revision history for this file. You can then go back to EA and re-use that filename.
