You don't, by any chance, have the following somewhere in your ~/.cvsrc? cvs -z (and maybe some additional args) If you do, you need to change that to cvs -zN (then the additional args) If doing that "fixes" it, I'm still not sure why your "old" cvs accepted this -z without a (numeric) argument. Here's the code from cvs-1.12.13-1: case 'z': #ifdef CLIENT_SUPPORT gzip_level = strtol (optarg, &end, 10); if (*end != '\0' || gzip_level < 0 || gzip_level > 9) error (1, 0, "gzip compression level must be between 0 and 9"); #endif /* CLIENT_SUPPORT */ break; Here's the code for cvs-1.11.22-1: case 'z': gzip_level = strtol (optarg, &end, 10); if (*end != '\0' || gzip_level < 0 || gzip_level > 9) error (1, 0, "gzip compression level must be between 0 and 9"); break; (and frankly, the code looks the same all the way back to cvs-1.11.17-1 release on 2004-09-15)... -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
