The only problem I have ever had with CVS with regard to the number of files was recently when I tried to add the latest version of boost (on the order of something like 20K files) into my repository. I got some weird error during the commit that made no sense (I was using TortoiseCVS via a remote desktop at the time, and I don't know if either of those had anything to do with it). I resolved my problem by committing subsets of the code at a time. I never bothered to investigate if the problem was due to TortoiseCVS, Remote Desktop, or CVS itself. > Clients: TortoiseCVS and WinCVS Typically, I use the CVS command line client. But when I do use a GUI, I strongly prefer TortoiseCVS over WinCVS (ugh). > Server: GNU CVS (not certain) I used to run CVS on Linux, but I had constant headaches with it, and the filesystem crashed and burned on me at least 3 times. I finally got fed up and switched to FreeBSD 5.x, and have _never_ had a problem with it since -- it just keeps on going and going... I use CVS 1.11.22. - Dennis
