If you get error likecvs commit: failed to create lock directory for `/home/cvsroot/foo/bar/#cvs.lock): No such file or directory then the reason might be that you added several directories nested within each other using one CVS command. Unfortunately there is a bug in CVS and such adding does not work – the directories are not created on server. A solution would be to delete metafile directories named “CVS” in those nested directories and add them again one by one along with the files in them.
