Description Ken DeLong

I'm using cvsnt as my cvs server, version 1.11.1.3 build 57d.  Eclipse works 
fine with the respository.

However, if I use the command-line cvs client to check out the project 
somewhere else, modify a file, and then commit cvs, Eclipse will break.  When I 
try to Synchronize with the Repository, everything works fine until it comes to 
the modified file, then it says "An error has occured processing file 
<filename>".  The same message is in the .log file.

I'm using the F2 build with Java 1.3.1 on WinXP.

Could you please attach the log file. It may contain more specific information 
that will help us determine the problem.

cvsnt unsupported.

If we receive more info we might be able to investigate, but unlikely in 
remaining 2.0 timeframe.

Here's my log file contents.  I checked out the project from a command line 
using :pserver:user@machine:/Repository.  I modified a file and did a cvs 
commit.  I deleted my .log file, then started Eclipse, right-clicked on my 
project and said Team -> Synchronize with Repository.  Here's what was left in 
the log file:

We now have time to investigate further.

This is the old repository profix problem again (see bug 21349). When using 
Eclipse with CVSNT, the CVSNT server must be configured to use the full path 
name and NOT a repository prefix. I'm not sure if there is anything we can do 
from the Eclipse end to fix the problem but I'll try to come up with something 
since this happens quite a bit.

At least we could detect the case where the server is CVSNT and a prefix is 
being used and warn the user.

Changed title from "CVS problems with externally modified files"

Fix released to HEAD.

This fix will detect the use of a repository pefix and warn the user that this 
is incompatible with some Eclipse operations. The user can still choose to keep 
the location.
