Symptoms

In CVS some files can be checked in incorrectly and will show up as binary. Once you have fixed this issue you may get the following error when trying to view the annoted view of the file:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2008-02-20 09:26:19,387 ERROR [btpool0-7] org.mortbay.log sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl-invoke0 - /browse/**removed full path** java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: toIndex = 236 at java.util.SubList.<init>(AbstractList.java:602) at java.util.RandomAccessSubList.<init>(AbstractList.java:758) at java.util.AbstractList.subList(AbstractList.java:468) at com.cenqua.fisheye.cvsrep.Annotator.applyHunksToSpans(Annotator.java:112)  ..... .....

Cause

Fisheye is caching old information of the file, when it was treated as binary file in the repository.

Resolution

You will need to reindex your repository.
