You are right about the comment in the documentation. It is long standing misbehavior of cvs that the output *messages* of cvs omit the ampersand module name. But it always checked the files out to the right location. The bug was only interesting for output parsing tools or wondering users. There was no situation where the functionality was broken. Don't ask me why it worked. I only can tell that it *works* with a 2.0.0rc3 client and 2.0.0 server (latest I can test because cvsnt.org is currently down). This client gives me the wrong output but an intact working copy. > Making a 'clean' solution is going to take some time & testing, as it > involves some quite hairy changes. Even if it was by accident it worked all the time up to rc3. Maybe this helps you to reenable the mysterious magic that somehow made it possible. Thanks for thinking about it. If I could help you more than just saying what changed I would do it. But I can only see the situation from a users point of view by now. Best wishes, OK.
