Description Robert Watkins 2001-04-05 00:39:45 UTC 
CVS->Add on a file that is not in the root package for the filesystem fails. 
CVS->Add on a file that is in the root package works fine.

Here's the execution string for the successful version:
cmd /X /C "cd /D \"D:\work\main\PSNG\utest\.\"&&  \"cvs\" -d 
\":local:v:\"        add  -m \"\" \"XmlSuite.java\" "

Here's the execution string for the unsuccessful version:
cmd /X /C "cd /D \"D:\work\main\PSNG\utest\.\"&&  \"cvs\" -d 
\":local:v:\"        add  -m \"\" \"com\XmlSuite.java\" "

Finally, here's the Data Error output for the unsuccessful version.
[cvs [add aborted]: cannot open CVS/com\XmlSuite.java,t: No such file or 
directory]

I'm using NetBeans 3.2, beta build 17.

A simple workaround is to add the file via the command line, and commit it. 
NetBeans works fine for committing changes to an already entered file... it 
just doesn't let you add them in the first place.

CVS->Add on a package works fine. Here's an execution string for that:
cmd /X /C "cd /D \"D:\work\main\PSNG\utest\.\"&&  \"cvs\" -d 
\":local:v:\"        add \"com\qsipayments\psng\util\xml\" "
