1. Unable to check out REL7_1 via cvs

   Yusuf Goolamabbas <yusufg@outblaze.com> — 2000-12-22T23:30:14Z

   Hi, I am using the following command to check out the 7.1 branch of
   PostgreSQL.
   cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot co -r REL7_1 pgsql
   
   This is the error I am getting.
   cvs [server aborted]: cannot write /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied
   
   I can check out HEAD perfectly alright
   
   Anybody else seeing similar results ?

   Try using "cvs -Rq ..." or just use CVSup it's (cvsup) a lot quicker.

   Nope, no luck with cvs -Rq also. Me thinks its some repository
   permission issue. Don't know if CVSup would help either. I don't have
   cvsup installed on this machine.

   CVSup would work, that's what I use.

   Use HEAD.  REL7_1 is a tag, not a branch (and a misplaced tag at that,
   IMHO, since it's not the formal release or even close...)

   I don't think there is a 7.1 branch yet, there being no 7.1 release yet
   either.
