Initial checkouts were failing to create Entries files under Eclipse. Eclipse was waiting for two non-standard directory-resets to prepare for a new directory from the server. This patch is tricky, because the same directory resets tend to confuse other clients. It's taken a bit of fiddling to get the commandline cvs client and Eclipse to get a good, clean checkout. Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Heh! Using git-format-patch I make sure I don't send you stray spaces ;-) (actually, I am back to using cperl-mode which highlights trailing ws) I'll rewind/reset my 'cvsserver' branch so it's all clean and you can pull from it and not fear white space monsters. cheers, martin --- git-cvsserver.perl | 33 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) 6a6ad59c4979e88e7f2a7b0997a3eb9fa115d6a7 diff --git a/git-cvsserver.perl b/git-cvsserver.perl index 3c588c9..d641c03 100755 --- a/git-cvsserver.perl +++ b/git-cvsserver.perl @@ -571,8 +571,19 @@ sub req_co my $updater = GITCVS::updater->new($state->{CVSROOT}, $module, $log); $updater->update(); + $checkout_path =~ s|/$||; # get rid of trailing slashes + + # Eclipse seems to need the Clear-sticky command + # to prepare the 'Entries' file for the new directory. + print "Clear-sticky $checkout_path/\n"; + print $state->{CVSROOT} .
