Re: [viewvc-users] rebuild adds parent directory

Sorry for the delay.  Mmmmmm ... turkey ...

cvsdbadmin appears to be the problematic code, so let's start there.
I'd suggest checking what the function RootPath() is returning.

For example, I made this tweak to my copy of cvsdbadmin:

{{{
Index: bin/cvsdbadmin
===================================================================
--- bin/cvsdbadmin	(revision 2924)
+++ bin/cvsdbadmin	(working copy)
@@ -169,6 +169,7 @@

     # get repository and path, and do the work
     root, path_parts = RootPath(args[2], quiet_level)
+    print "root(%s), path_parts(%s)" % (str(root), str(path_parts))
     rootpath = vclib.ccvs.canonicalize_rootpath(root)
     try:
         cfg = viewvc.load_config(CONF_PATHNAME)
}}}

When I run cvsdbadmin now, it prints the root and path_parts that that
function returns:

$ cvsdbadmin rebuild /usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS
Using repository root `/usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS'
root(/usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS), path_parts([])
...

$ cvsdbadmin rebuild /usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS/viewcvs/lib/vclib
Using repository root `/usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS'
root(/usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS), path_parts(['viewcvs', 'lib', 'vclib'])
Purging existing data for repository root `/usr/local/cvs/ViewCVS'
...

(Notice how it doesn't matter if I point cvsdbadmin at the root of my
CVS repository or to a subdirectory thereof, it still finds the same
canonical root path for my repository.)

Other code you'll want to examine is the function AddCommit() in the
lib/cvsdb.py module.  Maybe have that code print out the SQL query
before executing it or something.

Let me know how else I can help.
