Re: error on update

Greetings. I finally had some time to really take a look at this problem,
and all has been fixed. I was actually checking out the repository into
the WRONG directory. As soon as I set this up properly all my errors
disappeared. Python is working, checkout a module is working - and update
is working. Thank you for your help.  I'm going to spend more time now
working on diff and other features of wincvs - this is a really good
discussion list.
