Hi,

We had a linux machine setup for our repository and Tortoise on our Windows=
 7 machines using it.  Linux machine was retired, and the files were retrie=
ved and put on a local network drive.  Tried the :local: with the network d=
rive and it worked then stopped (even though no one else is using it but my=
self) - I know it's not a good idea to do that but not sure if that was wha=
t caused the problem or how to fix it?

Not sure where to go from here - how can I get tortoise working again?  I'm=
 using the latest version.  I even tried copying the network files to a loc=
al drive then pointing tortoise to the local drive.  (note I'm not very flu=
ent in Tortoise/CVS so perhaps I'm doing something wrong that's obvious?)  =
When I select TortoiseCVS checkout module to set it up and click on Fetch l=
ist it says:  (note inside the c:/cvsroot/scs750 there is a directory calle=
d CVSROOT with files in there).    Thanks for any help you can provide!

.exe" -q -Q -N co -c
