This problem could be either the server (CVSNT 2.0.12 on solaris 8) or our client, but I have posted to CVSgui list and haven't gotten a response. I want to encourage our users to upgrade their WinCVS clients from 1.2 to 1.3.17 and I'm testing 1.3.17 with our implementation before doing so. So far, it appears that most everything is working fine but I notice on updates or commits, I get this funny output (along with a healthy status 0) Ultimately, the operation succeeds... cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# This file affects handling of files based on their names.' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# The -m option specifies whether CVS attempts to merge files.' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# The -k option specifies keyword expansion (e.g. -kb for binary).' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# Format of wrapper file ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers or .cvswrappers)' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# wildcard [option value] [option value]...' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# where option is one of' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# -m update methodology value: MERGE or COPY' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# -k expansion mode value: b, o, kkv, &c' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `#' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# and value is a single- quote delimited value.' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `# For example:' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `*.gif -k 'b'' from cvs server cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `*.jpg -k 'b'' from cvs server WinCVS or CVSNT seems to be reading each line of the cvswrapper file on the server but is confusing it for server responses. Any ideas on resolving this? It doesn't appear to be causing any real harm, but I'd like to clean this up (or at least be able to explain it) before encouraging users to upgrade. Again, users on WinCVS 1.2 do NOT see this unwanted response. I do intend to upgrade our server soon, but was hoping to upgrade clients first - maybe this isn't a good idea?
