Description Jan Ekholm 2003-04-03 09:44:05 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:     (testing/unstable)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030309 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-1

Doing certain CVS operations  on files in a project gives errors. The project uses CVS and all operations work fine when done on the commanline (such as the embedded konsole). When the "File groups" view is shown and a file is highlighted at least the following operations fail with the error below:

	* Add to repository
	* Update
	* Commit

The error is:

cd 'src' && cvs -f add 'new_file.h'
/bin/bash: line 1: cd: src: No such file or directory
*** Exited with status: 1 ***

Doing the same operations in the "File Tree" view works ok. The difference seems to be that doing them there performs a "cd" to the absolute path of the 'src' directory, not to a relative path. Could it be that the "File Groups" view has a wrong working directory, one where 'src' is not a subdir?

Fix the attribute path

I had the same problem and proposed on 30th march the attached patch to use
absolute path instead of relative ones, but it seems it hasn't got any success
among the kdevelopes ;)
Can you apply it and tell me if it works for you?

I have another small patch that seems to solve it too. Have a look at 
http://www.infa.abo.fi/~chakie/media/cvs.patch 
 
Works fine for me after applying it. It basically makes sure all paths are 
always absolute.
