Tue 20 Jun 2006 05:26:17 PM UTC, original submission:

Simulating an import to CVS using the -X switch fails, when new directories would be created in the repository by the import. The import with the -X switch would import to the Attic. It tires to create the Attic directory, ignoring the noexec flag, which will fail because the upper directory will not have been created due to the noexec flag.

A patch is provided for import.c that adds a check for the noexec flag to the process_import_file() function when creating the Attic directory.

Testcase:
$ cvs -d /srv/cvs -n import -d -ko -X oe Ope ope-20060405
cvs [import aborted]: cannot make directory `/srv/cvs/oe/Attic': No such file or directory
