cvs server: sticky tag _ for file _ is not a branch

This was posted in Development, Error Solutions on September 2nd, 2010

We use TortoiseCVS for version control, today I got the error

cvs server: sticky tag ” for file ” is not a branch … correct the above errors first!

This was caused by getting a previous revision of the file and trying to commit a change to that file; however you can only commit to HEAD.

To get rid of this error and commit your changes, right-click the file, CVS > Update Special > Check “Get tag/branch/revision” > select HEAD > click OK.

You should then be able to commit your changes.

Our TortoiseCSV version is 1.10.10

TF10121: The path ” is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path (VS.NET)

This was posted in Error Solutions on June 17th, 2009

Error:	TF10121: The path ” is not found or not supported. Type or select a different path
Platform:	Windows Server 2003
Task:	Removing a project from one solution and adding it to another.
Solution:	The problem is that a stale reference to the old project is still stored and when we add the project, it gets back an empty string when we try to get its old directory path. To workaround, close the original solution and new solution. Re-open the new solution and re-add the project. It should now add properly. Still doesn’t add properly? Try removing all Source Safe Bindings: 1. Open project file (csproj) and delete the lines similar to: <SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName> <SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath> <SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath> <SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider> 2. Delete source safe files (i.e. *.vspscc)
