Hi, Just joined this mailing list to be able to ask you this...
Using client/server CVS, when I do cvs checkout -d ../x x I get an error message cvs server: protocol error: `../x' contains more leading .. cvs [server aborted]: than the 0 which Max-dotdot specified I have looked through the FAQ and searched through the mailing list archives, but not found anything that tells me if this is due to a bug, or if it is a security feature. I have had a look in the code (client.c), and I see that Max- dotdot is set according the number of levels in the arguments (x here) only, not according to the number of levels in the directory given by the -d option (../x). So it's easy to see why Max-dotdot is 0, which is why I get the error message. Still, I don't understand if it's a bug or a feature. Maybe someone out there can tell me?
