It's behaving very strangely, and it \noccurred to me that I have not appreciated that there might be a limitation \nin it.\n\nHere's what I did.\n\n* CVS user checks out a branch from the repository\n* CVS user adds new directory and files\n* CVS user checks them in\n* git user updates a tracking branch and then working branch to\n  match latest\n* git user makes changes to same files\n* git user checks in and pushes the branch\n* CVS user runs cvs update\n\nCVS user can't see the changes; forced updates simply checkout the same files \nhe's just checked in.\n\nI deleted the sqlite table from the git repository and ran the CVS update \nagain and this time the changed files arrived (but only after a forced \nupdate).\n\nMy question then is: does git-cvsserver require that all changes go via \nitself?  Does it expect you not to use normal git on that repository any \nmore?\n\n\nAndy\n-- \nDr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE\nandyparkins@gmail.com\n"},{"id":"32723","messageId":"200701261131.41765.andyparkins@gmail.com","threadId":"6543","inReplyTo":"200701261037.13948.andyparkins@gmail.com","subject":"Re: Does git-cvsserver expect all changes to be via CVS?","fromName":"Andy Parkins","fromEmail":"andyparkins@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-01-26T11:31:40Z","receivedAt":"2007-01-26T11:31:40Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"andyparkins@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"On Friday 2007 January 26 10:37, Andy Parkins wrote:\n\n> Still messing around with git-cvsserver.
