Description _ hlu 2001-11-29 20:06:37 UTC 
used NetBeans's build 2001112801:
To reproduce:
1. Versioning |Mount Version Control | CVS
2. Input Working Directory: C:\TEMP\work, which is an existion empty directory. Click Next
3. Check Local. After this, Server Name: fortecvs and User Name: hlu fields are disabled. Input Repository field by 
   choosing Browser button  then go to C:\TEMP\repo. After this, the CVSROOT field becomes to be :local:C:\TEMP\repo.
   Click next.
4. Input where the cvs.exe is. Click next and finish.
The work directory was mounted but this was error in the output window:
cvs.exe [status aborted]: CVSROOT hlu@fortecvs:C:\TEMP\repo must be an absolute pathname
The execution string was:
cmd /X /C "cd /D \"C:\TEMP\work\\\.\"&&   \"C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\cvs.exe\" -d \":local:hlu@fortecvs:C:\TEMP\repo\" -f status -l "

It seems to me that the CVSROOT was wrong.
I repeated the same steps on solaris8 and it worked fine.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2001-11-30 09:23:04 UTC 
This is a problem in the mounting wizard, that it sets the connection
parameters in a bad way.

The fix should be easy...
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2001-11-30 16:06:12 UTC 
Fixed in main trunk and release33 branch. The fix will appear in next
dev and 3.3.1 build (Dec 3).

It's a candidate for 3.3.0.

Here is the diff:

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2001-11-30 19:47:12 UTC 
Fixed in branch release330.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-12-04 16:41:03 UTC 
Verified in both branches i.e. development build #200112040330 of Net-
Beans 3.3.1 and RC1 build #200112032300 of NetBeans 3.3.
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 12:57:42 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
