What does this mean:
~/oddmuse $ cvs up cvs update: warning: directory CVS specified in argument cvs update: but CVS uses CVS for its own purposes; skipping CVS directory
Has somebody tried to check in the CVS directory itself?
#Software #CVS

Isn’t it like trying to pull yourself up by pulling your own hair?

I’ve seen this warning when a user commited files to one CVS repository that he previously had fetched from another one, and forgot not to add the CVS sub-folder during their commit.

Thanks! I removed my current repository and checked out a new copy. The message is gone. So I must have tried what you said at some point in the past.
