version control - CVS synchronize/update issue -
i using cvs version control system , facing strange issue. files, not able synchronize or update (using eclipse) because of following error:
"[project name]: cvs [update aborted]: cannot create .#lang_en.properties.1.1.2.3.2.7.2.2.2.3.2.1.2.1.2.3.8.1.2.4.6.12.2.3.4.1.4.3.2.6.2.13.4.4.4.1.2.9.2.2.2.1.8.1.8.1.14.1.8.3.26.1.8.1.4.4.6.17.4.2.6.6.6.3.2.2.2.2.10.2.2.2.2.2.2.9.2.7.2.1.4.10.4.2.2.3.4.4.2.2.2.1.2.1.10.2.8.1.6.1.4.1.4.2.6.1.2.1.2.2.4.5.4.1 copying: file name long"
according observation happens committed files. happens in team commit such file (which works) when other person in team try sync or update, shows 'file name long' error. clarify in example above file name "lang_en.properties'.
i not sure how resolve issue. have tried deleting file cvs , recreating same name (that required), same revision history appear again. appreciated.
a file named .#<filename>.<revision>
created when cvs update
, there changes made checked out file. backup of version had, in case update did didn't want (eg. introduced conflict having trouble resolving). allows roll update.
the simplest way address remove local file before doing update. way there no need cvs create backup file.
according observation happens committed files.
this not caused frequent commits. revision id increase sequentially every time commit. eg. 1.1
-> 1.2
-> 1.3
, on. digits added when branching. example, if took branch off 1.3 version of above file revision numbers 1.3.1.1
-> 1.3.1.2
-> 1.3.1.3
etc.
i don't know how working, project seems have introduced impressive level of branching. until address workflow, going continue coming across problem every time attempt update. have hit 256 character filename limit exists on lot of file systems.
