[Insight-users] CVS update problem (very strange)

[Bing Jian]

Hi,

   Today I encountered a very strange problem regarding cvs.
One of my labmates is developing program based on my code
using ITK. Today he just got his ITK updated by using
'cvs update -d -P' (his os is linux mandrake, cvs version 1.11.5)
then recompiled the program and found some errors due to
recent changes made on vnl_matrix from resize() to
set_size(), so he modified my program and let me know.

After I checked out the version after his modification, I have to
refresh my ITK to let my program get passed on my machine (also
mandrake). But then the very strange thing happened. This time I CAN
NOT get the latest ITK version by using 'cvs update -d -P'. Running
of this cvs update command just said 'updating $directory' but not
showing any single file being changed. And it really did not change
anything to my local ITK copy. For example, those basic vnl files
are still put in /Utilities/vxl/vnl without change instead of
the new folder /Utilities/vxl/core/vnl. If I use 'cvs update -d',
it will create an empty core directory with no files but some
also empty subdirectories. That's very strange. Because I can
check out correctly at same time from my windows xp using TortoiseCVS
with same command 'cvs update -d -P'. And I rememebered that
I did update correctly sometime before maybe  at the end of last year
from same linux machine with same command. (my cvs version is 1.11.6)

 I am wondering if anybody had same experience before. I dont
like to erase the whole thing and check out again.

  Thanks in advance!
