CVSNT 2.0.58d behaves correctly, it keeps the editors information.
What request SmartCVS should send, so GNU CVS 1.12.9 just sends the original content of the file without destroying the editors information? Thanks in advance.
Well, I think the first thing to do is to fix the bug (sounds like a bug in CVS 1.12 to me).
I don't have a copy of 1.12 handy to test this, but try adding the -p option to see if that helps.
Since you're doing a file compare, you could just do it the way CVS expects you to - invoke the 'diff' command and send the current contents of the file ;=) Or, since you want to fetch the original version in its entirety, you could send an empty file. CVS will then respond with all the lines that you "deleted", i.e. the entire file (which you can then redirect to your external file comparer).
