commit problems and currency

Hi everbody :)

My team-leader, may he never lose data, has solved my problem. 
Apparently, the files I have been checking out from cvs are _not_ the 
most current files.

For example, the file-roller file I have been obsessively re-checking 
and re-submitting:

gnome/cvs/gnome-2-10/file-roller/po

has a date of 2003 and does not show the many modifications shown by 
the file-roller file I can download from my l10n page (which has a 2005 
date).

There have been a lot of changes: no wonder this file kept showing up 
with fuzzies and empty strings! And I was still trying to get the 
outdated version committed...

I am still puzzled as to why we use cvs if it isn't about getting and 
maintaining the current version, but at last I have a fix: don't check 
out the file from cvs, get it from the l10n page, then commit it via 
cvs, if necessary checking out the old file and replacing it.

Boy, is it a relief finding out what was wrong! I was starting to think 
I was past anything requiring detail. :(

Not yet. :)

Thankyou very much to those kind people who tried to help me in this 
group: I would have given up long ago but for your encouragement. :)
