(Using CVSNT via cvs 1.11 client from bash shell running in cygwin) Attempting to execute: $ cvs commit -213232.xml results in the error message: commit: invalid option -- 2 The leading hyphen in the filename is not surprisingly being interpreted by cvs as signaling that an argument to the "commit" command is to follow. So how does one escape or quote a filename with a leading hyphen? Or is a leading hyphen in a filename simply not permitted (nevermind whether its a good idea or not...)? I've tried "cvs commit ./-213232.xml" and that doesn't work. I've tried "cvs commit \-213232.xml" and that doesn't work. Thanks in advance. Dave __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
