Both the "checkout" and "checkout -d" commands I had problems with in the last week work fine (again ;-) after a server update to 2.0.1a. It still needs an extra update to "transform" the .Log files into the "WinCVS-understandable" ones in some subdirs after a "checkout ampermod" but thats WinCVS's problem. I read somewhere that CVS gathers some performance from not rewriting the Entries file in some minor operations "not worth the rewrite". I'm very happy with that solution. BTW: This fixed the good old CVS bug where ampersand modules generated wrong output on update and checkout. Nice to see that 2.0.x does no longer try to be bug-compatible with 1.11.x ;-) > It's possible you're the only one using ampersand modules, but it'd > be nice if it worked. Are you serious here? Thanks for all, OK.
