Help with moving repository

We are in the process of moving our cvs repository (pserver) for reasons of size and speed, and have so far asked our CVS users to ensure everything is checked in to the existing repository, remove the existing working copies then modify their CVSROOT or -d options and check out again from the addr

args to fchmod() and chmod()

Greetings, all. I notice that cvs in several places executes fchmod() or chmod(), and that in some cases the new mode argument is the mode returned from an earlier call to stat(). This value typically includes the file type. On most platforms this causes no problem, but OS/400 complains that "

Windows CVS 1.11.4

There's quite a flaw with this CVS.  It seems to open ever file as text, and not binary, therefore converting all \n's to \r\n.  Even those lines that have \r\n on them.. so files checked out have \r\r\n when they're all done.  I use a variety of CVS clients, many are the Cygwin port, which

Accessing CVS repositories using a www proxy (dev-http patch)

Hi, I am trying to access a remote CVS repository using pserver.. but I need to go through a proxy. I have read this page http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-http.txt which seems relevant to my problem, but this mail has been written in 1999, and I suspect things have quite changed since in CV

I have two branches (b1 and b2) under same module. I tagged the b1 with A, and later tagged b2 with A as well. If I check out by A later, what set of files will be retrieved? Thanks a lot -Susie ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://m
