I received this error whilst performing a commit via Eclipse:-<\/p>\n

\n

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs add" command. cvs server: xxx added independently by second party<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The error related to some test database scripts in the project. I searched for solutions to this, and found some comments about tagging the files as merged, but this was not really any help.<\/p>\n

In the end, I examined the files using TortoiseCVS, and noted that the offending files were not flagged as being under source control \u2013 they did not have any icon decoration on them.<\/p>\n

In the end the following steps solved the problem:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I made sure I had copies of them elsewhere, and then deleted them from the (TortoiseCVS managed) directory under the eclipse project.<\/li>\n
  2. I then did an Update with TortoiseCVS \u2013 this reloaded the latest versions from CVS, and this time they were correctly icon-decorated as managed.<\/li>\n
  3. I then copied the new versions in to replace these. When I did this, the new versions were correctly decorated in red as updated versions but known to CVS\/Tortoise.<\/li>\n
  4. I then did a commit with Eclipse, and this now proceeded without error.<\/li>\n
  5. Finally to be safe, I did a file compare to check that the correct latest versions were in place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This solved the problem. It appeared that somehow I had lost the required CVS metadata such that the files did not appear to be CVS managed. Tortoise was very helpful here \u2013 if you see files with no icon decoration, this is immediately suspicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
