Well, Bo recommended that to me a few days ago. See this thread: "Re: Server upgrade from 1.11.1.3 rc1 (Build 53) to 2.0.34". Then Aric updated the Upgrade faq on 2004-03-30 as you can see here: http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/RecentChanges > > I'm unnable to force 70 developers to commit their changes at the same > time. > > So I will migrate them to the new server in a by project (module) basis. > > ?? I thought the repository was to remain on the same machine?

CVSNT newer versions store mergepoints and binary deltas, so the repository format is not the same. But I agree that the working copy format shoud be the same. I don't understand why I have to commit the changes before upgrade the server. Maybe Bo or Tony coud explain this issue better... Thanks, Daniel
