Hi, The following command sequence works well with my old 2.0.24 client. We have several scripts depending on this "-d" behavior. With 2.0.24 as a client it works as expected... C:\Documents and Settings\daniel\xyz>cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org:/usr/local/cvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.24 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.48 (client/server) C:\Documents and Settings\daniel\xyz>cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org:/usr/local/cvs co -d c:\xyzw CVSROOT cvs server: Updating c:\xyzw U c:\xyzw/checkoutlist U c:\xyzw/commitinfo U c:\xyzw/config U c:\xyzw/cvsrc U c:\xyzw/cvswrappers U c:\xyzw/editinfo U c:\xyzw/loginfo U c:\xyzw/modules U c:\xyzw/notify U c:\xyzw/rcsinfo U c:\xyzw/taginfo U c:\xyzw/test.txt U c:\xyzw/verifymsg C:\Documents and Settings\daniel\xyz>rmdir c:\xyzw /s /q But with a 2.0.41 client... C:\Documents and Settings\daniel\xyz>cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org:/usr/local/cvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.41 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.48 (client/server) C:\Documents and Settings\daniel\xyz>cvs -d :pserver:cvs at cvs.cvsnt.org:/usr/local/cvs co -d c:\xyzw CVSROOT cvs checkout: Server attempted to update a file via an invalid pathname: cvs [checkout aborted]: 'c:\xyzw/'. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Will it be fixed? Thanks in advance Daniel
