Here is use case. We use locking capabilities of CVS with command cvs admin -lbranch file Open CVS History of your locked file. Select revision that is locked and pick another revision. You will see an error in compare view for locked one. You can even lock both revisions and will get an error for both sides :-) This bug somehow related to bug 103374 and the one I have used to attach my patch bug 44438. This functionality is critical for our company. I hope to get this patch applied for eclipse 3.6.1.
Created attachment 175037 [details] Patch to fix setRevision function
I locked all files using "cvs admin -L", opened History view and picked two revisions (the latest was locked) and it worked for me. I'm sure I'm missing something. Am I able to reproduce the steps you referring to in comment 0 using CVS Watch/Edit options?
cvs admin -L does not lock. You have to use cvs admin -l (lower case)
I did. This is output from my console: cvs -d :pserver:cvsadmin@localhost:/BUGS admin -l file1.txt RCS file: /BUGS/bug320585_compareLocked/file1.txt,v 1.2 locked done Then, in the previously checked out project, I opened History view for file1.txt, selected two revs (1.1 and 1.2 - locked) and did "Compare with Each Other". Worked fine. Am I doing it in the right order?
Can you give cvs log of the file? Maybe that is specific to cvs server we use 1.11.23 version
Here is my example of log after locking revision 1.1 locked by: obuyansk; date: 2010/07/14 15:02:41; author: obuyansk; state: dead; branches: 1.1.2; file sellingToolRC.h was initially added on branch br_REL-070710. ---------------------------- revision 1.1.2.2 locked by: obuyansk; date: 2010/07/25 20:49:15; author: obuyansk; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 Use more generic macro in case of not found project ST_CGI_NOT_FOUND ---------------------------- revision 1.1.2.1 locked by: obuyansk; date: 2010/07/14 15:02:41; author: obuyansk; state: Exp; lines: +118 -0

Created attachment 175296 [details] cvs log output I'm running local CVSNT 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2704.
I was able to reproduce this with Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.04 (Zen) Build 3236 () (client/server) $ cvs admin -l1.2 flexelint_lib.mk RCS file: /cvsroot/tools/com.lowes.eclipse/com.lowes.eclipse.cdt/qibmake/share/flexelint/flexelint_lib.mk,v 1.2 locked done See next screen short of error. I was able to reproduce same error.

Tomasz, I also see bug issue in history view as well. It does not show list of tags for locked revision. that is because in /org.eclipse.team.cvs.core/src/org/eclipse/team/internal/ccvs/core/client/listeners/LogListener.java we does not parse properly revision number } else if (line.startsWith("revision ")) { //$NON-NLS-1$ revision = internAndCopyString(line.substring(9)); state = REVISION; I am thinking to create function to remove LockedBy message and call from both places. Can I use /org.eclipse.team.cvs.core/src/org/eclipse/team/internal/ccvs/core/util/Util.java ?

All righty, I finally managed to reproduce *both* of the cases (comment 0 and comment 11). I'll review your patch in the first week of 3.7M2. (In reply to comment #0) > I hope to get this patch applied for eclipse 3.6.1. I don't think this is critical enough for 3.6.1, the problem has been there for a while so it can't be that critical. Actually, I don't even think this bug is critical at all. You're not experiencing any "crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak"[1] so I'm lowering the severity to Major.

Thanks for quick reply. I really appreciate this. I just hope that during review of patch you will find it how simple it's. it does not brake API and should be easy to apply for 3.6 and even 3.5. We currently use 3.5 and we plan to use 3.6 in couple of months and we have more then 100 of developers using eclipse. I always have a choice to manually patch eclipse as I did for 3.5, I just hoped that I will not need to do that for 3.6.
For those who use CVS locks the issue is pretty severe as the locks could stay for days. You cannot do any comparison with the most interesting version and some developers tend to wait out until the lock is dropped. Also, since you can't see the tags you can't tell for sure which revision went to the release. > I don't think this is critical enough for 3.6.1, the problem has been there for a while so it can't be that critical. Is it possible to reconsider in favor of adding to 3.6 maintenance release? AFAICS it is a clear bug, the patch is small and all the changes are internal.
Created attachment 176528 [details] Patch v03 A simpler version of Olexiy's latest patch. I would like to release this one to HEAD, is that ok with you?

looks perfect. I like idea with regular expression string.
(In reply to comment #15) > AFAICS it is a clear bug, the patch is small and all the changes are internal. This is all true, but it is not enough. We usually backport only severe issues which lead to crashes, data loss or at least major loss of function. If the bug is a regression it's also more probable it will be backported. If we hadn't kept to these strict rules we would have ended up in backporting all major bugs, which doesn't make much sense to me.
The latest patch has been applied to HEAD. It will be available in builds >N20100815-2000. Olexiy, thanks for the initial patch. Please verify the fix, when you find some spare time.

Thanks. Marking as VERIFIED.
