Description Paul Eggleton 2004-04-14 09:21:51 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

If you perform an Update on a modified file and it fails (eg. because CVS couldn't connect to the server), the file's status is changed to "Up to date" even though it isn't.

Hi Paul,

thanks for your report. This issue is caused by an inconsistency of CVS. The command cvs returns 0 on success else 1. But there is one exception, if cvs finds a conflict it returns 1 too. So Cervisia handles 0 and 1 as successful execution.

I don't know how to solve this in Cervisia right now.

Maybe we can retrieve and remember the correct status of the execution in UpdateView::processUpdateLine()? Similar to what we have in ProgressDialog::processOutput().

Here's another example of the same failure on committing:
cvs -f commit -l -m 'xxx' 'path/to/file' 2>&1
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host 
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
[Exited with status 1]
