Not a new toilet! A co-worker of mine made a new repository; I had never
connected. This was my first connection. Perhaps the better phrasing
would be 'first connection to the main trunk of a brand new repository'.
The system is an HP Z800 configured to be an emulator of an HP G7 blade
system. We have several of these configured for doing analysis of high-speed
PDL (page description language) processing. It is dual-boot and has the
high-speed dual-disk RAID -- 4 disks total. Yes, a nice PC. MSRP is like a new car.

I suspect it is the problem. The COE (corporate operating environment) here
cuts my name down all the time. This results in mismatches fairly often. To
me it looks like a mismatch between the actual name and the GUID-like name.
Eventually a null pointer results...

Apparently not. I followed the directions in the GUI which was displaying
the error.

[Perdicaro, Frank (GSB-IHPS-Corvallis)]
Not so easy. Sure the update is easy, but not making a new repository.
I will keep this in mind.
