rsync - Jan 2007 - transferred files have ",v" at their end

Hi Guys,

When I transfer files with rsync to my server, all the files get a
",v"
added to the extension. Do you know why is this?

I am using the command described on sourceforge
rsync -av rsync://PROJECTNAME.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/PROJECTNAME/* .

and I get files like "build.xml,v"

If I do a search for the exact phrase with search engines,
"build.xml,v", I
can see lot of results, but hte problem is, I cannot compile files if they
have a ,v at their end.

Can you please advise?

Thanks,
Giorgio

No, they don't.

You're downloading a CVS repository, not the "simple" files
you're
expecting.  Use a text viewer to look into one of these files. You'll
notice that there's more in them than only the "plain" contents
you're
expecting to see.

You'd use "cvs" to connect to these repositories and check-out a
working copy.  Rsync'ing this stuff is reasonable for doing backups,
but not to compile the project.  (Of course, you'd setup a local CVS
server to serve the just-downloaded *,v files, but that doesn't buy
you a penny...)
