It didn't cause any trouble that you noticed. The file that CVS uses to keep track of editing information uses those characters as delimiters, so having them in a directory name confuses CVS and makes various edit functions not work right, frequently with very obscure error messages. The only change was to provide a clear error message right aways rather than planting a time bomb to blow up later. -Larry Jones I don't want to be THIS good! -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
