Here's the cvs.exe version information from my WinCVS 1.3.8.1, as shown
using cvs --ver from both the command line option in the GUI and from a
cygwin command prompt...

Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3  (Build 57a) (client/server)

CVSNT version (Mar 13 2002) Copyright (c) 1999-2001 Tony Hoyle and others
see http://www.cvsnt.org

I saw that someone had written a patch for similar behavior, and read that
it should have been fixed in recent versions of WinCVS.  But can this be a
regression, or is it possible the bug wasn't completely resolved in the
client versions of cvs.exe?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave,

	Check your client side version of CVS.EXE - the version that
comes with
WinCVS has this bug, which has been fixed in newer cvsnt builds.

Hello.  From my PC, I can successfully communicate over ssh to both a
CVSNT
(1.11.1.3 build 57f) server running on W2K SP2 with Cygwin ssh, and to a
standard CVS (1.11.1p1) server running on OpenBSD 3.0 with the included
openssh.  More specifically, it works well when my PC is running WinCVS
1.3.6.1.  (FYI: my PC is running W2K SP2 and the latest Cygwin ssh.)

When I try the same commands (checkout and update) with either the
WinCVS
1.3.7 or 1.3.8 clients, to either server using the correct CVSROOT
value,
the commands appear to complete successfully, but the fish keep swimming
and
a minimized DOS prompt hangs around until I close it.  I've tried
forcing
ssh to use protocol 1 and other settings, but these results remain
constant.
The DOS process is "C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCVS 1.3\cvs.exe".

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  Do you have any suggestions on
what
changed after WinCVS 1.3.6 or how to fix it?

By the way, there were more problems when connecting to CVSNT 1.11.1.3
build
57a, but build 57f is *much* better (as long as we use WinCVS 1.3.6!)
So
thanks to all of you who have contributed to the code, testing and
documentation.  And keep up the good work!!!

Regards,
Dave
