[Python-Dev] Corrupt Jython CVS (off topic).

[Finn Bock]

A week ago I posted this on jython-dev, but no-one was able to give any
advise on the best way to fix it. Maybe you can help.


For some time now, our [jython] web CVS have not worked correctly:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jython/jython/org/python/core/

Finally I managed to track the problem to the Java2Accessibility.py,v
file in the CVS repository. The "rlog" command cannot be executed on
this file. 

>From the start of the Java2Accessibility.py,v:

head    2.4;
access;
symbols
        Release_2_1alpha1:2.4
        Release_2_0:2.2
        Release_2_0rc1:2.2
        Release_2_0beta2:2.2
        Release_2_0beta1:2.2
        Release_2_0alpha3:2.2
        Release_2_0alpha2:2.2
        Release_2_0alpha1:2.2
        Release_1_1rc1:2.2
        Release_1_1beta4:2.2
        Release_1_1beta3:2.2
        2.0:1.1.0.2;
locks; strict;


As an experiment, I tried to remove the strange "2.0:1.1.0.2;" line from
the file and then I could run rlog on the file.

Does anyone know if/how we can fix this?

As a last resort I suppose I can attach my hand edited version to a SF
support request where I ask them to copy my file to the CVS server. To
this day I have never been very successful whenever I have tried to edit
files in a CVS repository so I'm reluctant to do this.
