The documented -q option of the "cvs status" client command does not work as expected, and is process instead like the "cvs server" internal command. The command is started, and a list of files is computed, but then the command aborts and displays a usage status. Is it a limit of the remote CVS server (most probably an Unix implementation) or a bug within CVSNT client ? Sample output follows: C:\CVSHOME\limewire>cvs --help status Usage: cvs status [-vlR] [files...] -v Verbose format; includes tag information for the file -l Process this directory only (not recursive). -R Process directories recursively. -q Display a quick summary of each file (send more increased terseness). (Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options) C:\CVSHOME\limewire>cvs status -v -R -q ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/chat/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/connection/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/downloader/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/filters/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/handshaking/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/mp3/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/routing/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/security/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/uploader/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/util/.cvsignore ? core/com/limegroup/gnutella/xml/.cvsignore ? gui/.cvsignore ? gui/bin/limeshop0.html ? gui/bin/limeshop2.html ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/chat/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/download/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/init/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/library/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/menu/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/mp3/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/notify/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/options/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/options/panes/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/options/panes/LocaleDefHolder.java.txt ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/search/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/search/SizeRenderer.java ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/tabs/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/update/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/update/gui/.cvsignore ? gui/com/limegroup/gnutella/xml/gui/.cvsignore ? gui/lib/.cvsignore cvs server: invalid option -- q Usage: cvs server [-vlR] [files...] -v Verbose format; includes tag information for the file -l Process this directory only (not recursive). -R Process directories recursively.
