I have a problem with tagging a sandbox that contains a subfolder named 'Run&Drive'. What happens is that it looks like the parameter list from CVSNT to my program (CVSMailer) lists an erroneous module name. Instead of the correct one (/Bosse/ModuleYY/Run&Drive) it seems like I am supplied only /Bosse/ModuleYY/Run This means that CVSNT seems to cut short where the ampersand character is located. I don't really know if this is a fault in CVSNT, WindowsXP or CVSMailer, but trying to debug it I have come this far: I have a loop inside the program that runs through the program parameter list and logs each parameter value. This log lokks like this: 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 1: -t00000184 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 2: bosse 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 3: /Bosse 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 4: -rbosse 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 5: TestTag2_20040814 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 6: add 20040815 00:24:06 DEBUG: Parameter 7: /Bosse/ModuleYY/Run As you can see the final parameter that should list the module folder name misses the &Drive part. I have ruled out a problem in Delphi5 where the ParamStr(i) function might not correctly handle this case. It does and when I run my program manually with & inserted in the command parameter list it is read and logged OK. Then I did a test by supplying a bogus argument in taginfo by inserting a & char in the middle somewhere and did a tag operation and what happened was that this cut the parameter list short at the point where & is inserted. So my conclusion is that CVSNT for some reason does not like & inside the argument list in taginfo and also will fail if a module folder name contains an & char. version info from cvs ver: Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41a (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.51 (client/server) /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
