Hello NG, since a few months the developers in our project are complaining about hangs when committing files. The output freezes after the last Checking in xyz.txt; R:/Repo/xyz.txt,v <-- xyz.txt new revision: 1.8; previous revision: 1.7 done block. The open Lockfiles pushed me to shift over to LockServer... ;-) Since I never had such trouble myself (using emacs) I couldn't track it down earlier, but now I think I have a clue about it. The problem is introduced in cvsnt build 63 - possibly as a result of the new preserve-permissions feature. It seems to be dependent on the global -r option and the behavior of the editor (Visual SlickEdit) to watch the file flags. I read in other postings to this group about the problems arising from open IDE's when working with cvs, but it's annoying to always close and open. Since we don't suffer from lost changes or other bad things I would like to save me from telling the developers to do so... After all it wouldn't be that bad if cvs would exit with an error code. Any ideas what could lead to this "unkind" behavior? Please give me your notes. Bye, OK.
