Description Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-22 10:54:08 EDT 
While I was tagging a project, I got a message that CVS died and some lock files might need to be reset.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.team.cvs.core 4 -10 2011-06-22 08:01:01.148

I can't CVS replace or tag /cvsroot/eclipse e4/org.eclipse.e4.resources any more.

I've cleaned up the lock and tmp directories.  Please re-connect and try the tagging again.

-M.
Comment 2 Paul Webster CLA 2011-06-22 12:12:01 EDT 
Tagging the project again lead to a similar problem:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs tag" command.
e4: Terminated with fatal signal 11
e4: Core dumped; preserving /tmp/cvs-serv7560 on server.
e4: CVS locks may need cleaning up.

Could you please reset the lock files again?

Thanx,

I've cleared the files you owned in the lock directory.
