Hi! I'd suggest putting this into the Drupal.org handbook. While hacking a Drupal module is fun, using command line cvs is definitely not. Here is some help learned the hard way (thanks Killes!): If you would like to add a file or a directory, it is the parent directory you need. Once again: the parent directory, not the dir you want to add something to but the parent of it. I can not find any logic in this, but this is so. First, issue a export CVSROOT=:d:icvslogin:cvspasswd@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib You would like to add a new file to a module? cvs co contributions/modules/modulename cd contributions/modules copy file into modulename cvs add modules/filename cvs commit Say you want to create a sandbox named ihatecvs. Then do a cvs co contributions/sandbox/weblinks (does not really matter which directory, I like this one, 'cos it is small) cd contributions mkdir sandbox/ihatecvs put some stuff into the directory sandbox/ihatecvs cvs add sandbox/ihatecvs cvs commit Regards Karoly Negyesi
