This is the first I've heard of it. Are you sure it's a function of whether there's a file list or not? If you can time running it both ways with trace turned on (cvs -t) we might be able to see what's going on from the times and traces. If I had to guess, I's say it's because when you give it a list of file names, the files are all (or mostly) potentially modified, so CVS has to send them all to the server, but when you run it without a list it's always right after doing it the other way so CVS knows there are no local changes and doesn't have to send any files. -Larry Jones All this was funny until she did the same thing to me. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
