When preparing the first release of the Evolution theme, I was presented with this error:

$ cvs -z6 checkout -d evolution-HEAD contributions/themes/evolution/
cvs checkout: warning: new-born `evolution-HEAD/themes/evolution' has disappeared

True enough, the /contributions/themes/evolution directory is missing from CVS. Was it not created in the first place when the project node was created?

I can confirm that the directory doesn't exist.

I would assume that you created it in a wrong place and it got cleaned up.

This theme was transferred to me last year (#430350: Request to transfer Evolution theme maintainership) so I don't know what happened.

How can this be fixed?

Basing on the CVS log (http://drupal.org/project/cvs/323938), the directory for the project has never been created. This could also mean the directory has not been created where it should have been created.

You need to create the directory and add it to /contributions/modules/ /contributions/themes/ when starting a new project. See http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/quickstart#add for instructions on how to do that.

/contributions/themes in this case!

Thanks, all. cvs add contributions/themes/evolution wasn't working but for some reason cd contributions/themes && cvs add evolution did work. I hate CVS.
