1312.0. "bcs -u problem" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Fri Mar 03 1995 13:08

Subj: 	bcs -u problem

Hi,

I am getting a problem with undoing a checkout.  I had an erroneous checkout
in a particular set (./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c).  I am trying to undo that,
but I deleted the checked out file by mistake.  Now this is what happens,
	
	[sandbox sp1170]
	%   bcs -u inet.c

	[ ./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c ]
	rcs error: no lock set on revision 4.2.8.1

This implies to me that the file is not in the list of checked out files.
However if I do "bstat -all" then this file is still listed.. And if I try
to check it out from another set, then I get the following message:

	[sandbox sp1170 set netstat]
	% bco ./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c

	[ ./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c ]
	[ ./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c already checked out to another set; branch check-out aborted ]


Any ideas, how I can fix this?  Thanks.

bcs -o file

will outdate your branch.  -u unlocks your checked out branch.

Sandeep, John has answered your question with the right command to remove
the file from your set (bcs -o file), but I wanted to explain the following:

> 	[ ./usr/sbin/netstat/inet.c ]
> 	rcs error: no lock set on revision 4.2.8.1
>

That's incorrect.  This just says you don't currently have a lock.  That means
you did a bco and then a bci.  The bci unlocked the file, and it's still in
your sandbox/set, confirmed by bstat -all.  However bstat -wall (writeable-all)
will only listed the writeable/locked files, which would not include this one.

To see your history on this file, do a 'blog file' and you'll see your
check-in record.  The bcs command takes both -u, unlock and -o, outdate.
If the file's bco'd and not bci'd you need both switches; in your case you
just want to outdate.  You can consider the file "checked out" until it's
oudated, either manually or at the tail end of a bsubmit.
