Hi, did anyone habe problems with tagging in cvsnt2.0.4? (Both nt and unix). I'm using a (large) module that I can check out, update etc. without problems. But when I try to tag the module, cvs -q tag -c Tagname Directory first cvs reports the ignored directories (CVS dirs) and then I get lists of directories with the comment "invalid repository path - full dir path". However, the paths actually DO exist, and, files within those paths are tagged. But sometimes cvsnt hangs - a cvsnt process generates a child process that doesn't exit properly but leaves a zombie; the parent process is waiting forever. I manually have to terminate the parent process. I have no idea if the "invalid repository path" warning it the reason, or a side effect, or maybe just a coincident with no meaning I checked for lockfiles but there are none. Upgrading to 2.0.8 (nt) didn't solve the problem. I can tag the files by going into the (sub-)subdirectories and tagging the files, but tagging recursively doesn't work (with some directories). Obviously cvsnt has started tagging the files gefore it hangs. The first files in the dirs (in alpabetical order) already have tags, but then there's that zombie blocking further tagging. I couldn't find anything that those dirs have in common - no special characters, no special files etc.. no extra long paths nor filenames .It's no protocol problem either; I get the same effects when I check out the files locally on the server and try to tag them there. But it seems to happen when there are >200 files in a directory. (selected them and tagged using TortoiseCVS) If I select the files directly and select more than 200 files, I get the same effect. Splitting in block < 200 files tagging works Grepping the sources I couldn't find the term "invalid repository path" either... don't know where to look for a possible reasons in the sources. Anybody else having problems tagging many files at once?
