We use WinCVS 1.3 for the client. Okay.

Well, clearly some problem is being uncovered. If you are able to upgrade to a newer version of cvs and still have the problem, then it may be possible to help you debug the problem on this list. > Is this a solaris limitation or a cvs limitation (there are about 2513 > characters that make up the --allow-root argument string, excluding any > spaces)? I am not aware of such a limitation, however, you could test it yourself. Take a simple program like this: % cat testit.c #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; for ( i = 0; i < argc; i++ ) printf("%d: %s\n", i, argv[i]); return(0); } % Compile it and give it all of the arguments you setup in your wrapper script for cvs and see what happens. > I could use different ports on the server to balance out the > repositories.... but WinCVS 1.3 doesn't retain port info inside the > CVS admin subdirectory files in the workares.... which causes problems > for users who have to work out of repos on different ports at the same > time.....
