Ah . .I thought the ... was a snip. Wow . .that's interesting . .the only time I would expect something like that, is if you're using Tortoise . .I think it does try to put everything on the command line. . . Alexandre just asked what versions you're using . .I'd like to hear that too.

The strange thing is, the command line is NOT too long. Its only about 100 characters. I have used CVS with Much Much longer command lines with no trouble. It seems to be expanded inside cvs because of the 1300 or so files it finds in that directory. I am wondering why cvs can not make its own buffer bigger with "malloc()". > What is the full command you're using? I included that in its entirety in the original post. between the ----8<---- 's lines. Its what is printed in the WinCVS shell window. It is nothing unusual. Its what commit does when you do not supply file names: It assumes you want to commit everything that is commitable. In my case, that turns out to be about 1300 files. But if it needs to make a list of all files internally, and it neglected to alloc enough space, then that's a bug in CVS not any limit in the shell, Right?
