Is there a way to have CVS checkout everything and if it hits corrupted files it will just skip them and go on?

  • How is CVS supposed to tell if the file is corrupted or not? – David Thornley Jul 10 '09 at 19:24
  • Easily, it performs error checking on the RCS file. On erroneous RCS files the checkout bails. I'd love to know the solution to this now as I am currently dealing with the same problem. – vfilby Feb 20 '10 at 04:57

    @vfilby Does the checkout bail silently? If not, what's the error message displayed? – mrk Jun 16 '11 at 21:07

The answer to "can I create a pre-checkout hook" might help.

It suggests you can modify the cvs_acls list to perform your error checking and block the checkout of files from the repository.
