Q1

Why did CVS fail to add a project to the server with the"Failed to put file c:\xxx\xxx\ in the folder" error?

A1

When we add a new project through Magic xpa in the CVS repository, as with any other Version Control tool, we create a project folder by its name in the CVS repository. There is a limitation in CVS, which does not let the server create folder names with spaces.

When working with CVS, make sure that the project name in Magic xpa does not contain spaces.

Q2

How can we prevent two programmers using Team Foundation Server (TFS) from both checking out the same object simultaneously?

A2

TFS allows multiple check-outs, as specified in the following article:

If you need to disable this option, you need to uncheck the Enable multiple check-out check box in the Source Control Settings dialog box's Check-out Settings tab.

Q3

Why am I getting the error: "The Specified Server path does not contain valid Team Project" when trying to create a version control project using Team Foundation Server?

A3

This error occurs when a Team Project collection does not contain a Team Project.
