I'm merely trying to get the \nfile to appear in the CVS sandbox.\n\n\n\nAndy\n\n-- \nDr Andrew Parkins, M Eng (Hons), AMIEE\nandyparkins@gmail.com\n"},{"id":"32078","messageId":"200701190955.00335.andyparkins@gmail.com","threadId":"6427","inReplyTo":"46a038f90701181101w1ea300b6lb4d7e4354d89be95@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: git-cvsserver won't add new content on update","fromName":"Andy Parkins","fromEmail":"andyparkins@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-01-19T09:54:53Z","receivedAt":"2007-01-19T09:54:53Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"andyparkins@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"On Thursday 2007, January 18 19:01, Martin Langhoff wrote:\n\n> yup.

In all cases, the log is \nshowing the \"Tell the client the file will be added\" message; which seems \ncorrect.\n\n\nAndy\n\n-- \nDr Andrew Parkins, M Eng (Hons), AMIEE\nandyparkins@gmail.com\n"}]}
