When I use CVSNT 2.0.20 as server and in WinCvs 1.3b14 with cvsnt 2.0.12
as client. Flat mode - files from different directories I get an error
message:

cvs -q commit -m "merged from b141" Terminal\FunctionVal.h
GENERAL\NAMEFILE.CPP GENERAL\NAMEFILE.HPP (in directory
D:\slask\1\Mpwin\Src\)
Checking in Terminal/FunctionVal.h;
/HMI/Mac/Mpwin/Src/Terminal/FunctionVal.h,v  <--  FunctionVal.h

cvs [server aborted]: could not open lock file
`D:/CvsRepos/HMI/Mac/Mpwin/Src/GENERAL/,NAMEFILE.CPP,': File exists

---- and then I try the remaining files again, and that works.

cvs -q commit -m "merged from b141" GENERAL\NAMEFILE.CPP

I have uptil now used 2.0.12a, and not used LockServer, and have not seen
this problem. In my config file I still have:

# Put CVS lock files in this directory rather than directly in the
repository.
LockDir=d:\cvslock

# Use a CVS Lock server (overrides LockDir setting).
#LockServer=localhost:2402 

But I believe that I use LockServer anyway since this is now default?

Perhaps it has nothing to do with different directories, because then I
tried:

cvs -q commit -m "merged from b141" GENERAL\ProdName.cpp
Terminal\TDISPLAY.CPP Terminal\TDISPLAY.HPP Terminal\TEGRSMET.CPP
Terminal\TEGRTREN.CPP Terminal\TERMINAL.CPP Terminal\TOALMGRP.CPP
Terminal\TOALMGRP.HPP Terminal\TOBLOCK.HPP Terminal\TOBLTX.CPP
Terminal\TOBLTX.HPP Terminal\TOGRSMET.CPP Terminal\TOGRSMET.HPP
Terminal\TOGRTOKE.CPP Terminal\TOGRTOKE.HPP Terminal\TOGRTREN.CPP
Terminal\TOGRTREN.HPP Terminal\TOSUI.CPP Terminal\TOSUI.HPP (in directory
D:\slask\1\Mpwin\Src\)

and this command stopped at TOBLOCK.HPP - still the same file as in bug
#214 - coincidence?
