CVS checkout ignore corrupted files

Question

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? – Applecart

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. – Senility

@Senility Does the checkout bail silently? If not, what's the error message displayed? – Swanee

Answer 1

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.
