Dear Rajadurai, I responded directly to you from work earlier asking for more problem data. Now that I have returned home I have been able to check up on this and you are absolutely right!! I now have seen that your observation is indeed correct! It turns out that when I use the tag command on my CVSNT 2.0.58d test repository and use CVSMailer (both the newest version 1.5.1.34 and an older one 1.5.1.32) the file names are corrupted! What happens is outside the scope of CVSMailer though, because the list of tagged files supplied by CVSNT has been corrupted for some reason! I did not know this and it is very strange since the files that are part of regular commits are actually sent to CVSMailer on the command line in the same way as the files for tagging (as STDIN data). I read the STDIN using exactly the same function in CVSMailer no matter if it is loginfo or taginfo that made the call, yet the data for taginfo are corrupted... I think that this is a problem with CVSNT. My tests now indicate that if I use CVSMailer against a 2.0.38 CVSNT server (my other CVS server, the one I keep my CVSMailer code in) then the tag operations are OK, no problems with the file names. And this is no matter which version of CVSMailer I use. But on the 2.0.58d server the problem appears no matter which CVSMailer version is used. So there is definitely some corruption going on inside CVSNT 2.0.58d. Can you verify what happens if you downgrade to 2.0.51? I don't have this version available to me anywhere. Thanks for your report! Tony, what do you think? /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
