RE: [jcvs] Adding a file to a CVS project with jCVS

["Kirk Woerner" <kirk@stoneseeker.com>]

Unfortunately that's not it.  "/localcvsroot" was just an example.  The
actual
working directory is
c:/usr/local/client/the_client/the_cvs_root

and in fact it happens whenEVER I try to add something in a new directory
anywhere under the local cvs root...

It's quite annoying actually
