I would like to see TortoiseCVS include the CVSNT client instead of the regular CVS client. Before, TortoiseCVS didn't use an external CVS client (it used some DLL), but the DLL they were using is out-of-date and so they changed TortoiseCVS to use a "stock" cvs.exe. However, the "stock" cvs.exe doesn't include NTSERVER support. So, installations using TortoiseCVS+CVSNT (such as mine) have to do extra client-side work to integrate these two programs. If TortoiseCVS included the CVSNT client, things would be much simpler for installations using NTSERVER mode with TortoiseCVS. Torsten (from the TortoiseCVS group) said that he would be willing to do bundle the CVSNT version but he was concerned because CVSNT seemed to be missing two key patches that are in CVS 1.11.1p1 (see below). I know that in many ways CVSNT is "ahead" of the original CVS port, but are there any areas in which it is behind? If CVSNT is missing the patches from CVS 1.11.1.p1, would it be possible for them to be integrated? Or are they somehow unnecessary? Are there any (licensing) issues with bundling just the CVSNT client (without the server-specific stuff)?

I have nothing against using the CVSNT client, but we would have to make sure that the patches (transferring password in environment, fix for nonexisting .cvspass) that are in the cvs.exe now used by Tortoise are included. I went to cvsnt.org, and it looks as though the current version (which is BETA 8a) is not based on the most recent stock CVS distribution (1.11.1p1), but rather plain 1.11.1. _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
