First I must cd to the directory where the file exists and add it from
there
$ cd tools/BuildProcess
$ cvs -d :ext:dennisw at cvs.server:/root add DoAllVMT_DevQA.bat
Seems like one ought to be able to specify a relative path when adding
files.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help -- you ladies are the best

Subject: having problems with cvs add
I'm having problems with a cvs add and I don't understand the error
message enough to figure out how to correct it
$ cvs -d :ext:dennisw at cvs.server:/root add
tools/BuildProcess/DoAllVMT_DevQA.bat
dennisw at cvs.server's password:
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
I did previously do a cvs checkout first, that's how I've got the
sources that I have already. But now I just need to add this one file,
and it won't let me.
What am I missing?
The cvs server is WinCVS (sorry, wasn't my doing), and I'm using a
cygwin bash shell
(I'm on the digest list, so direct reply's or cc's are welcome)
