Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.
Please don't reply to my private email, I communicate with the list
primarily via the CVSNT newsserver. Sending in private will likely
get you less responses because others are excluded from the discussion.
Concerning the folders, it was just a suggestion and I did not mean
the CVS folder for that matter. You should see where the operations stop
and start your check from there. Most likely the problem will be found
on the next folder to operate on after the last successful one.
In your example:
cvs server: Updating work/newbumprev
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server
This would lead me to look at the next folder in 'work' or in the first
subfolder in 'work/newbumprev'. Should be fairly simple to do.
If they are named with some "unusual" character then you might have
found the problem and can go from there.

Ok, that seems like a lot of work to do when some simple debugging code
added to cvsnt would tell me what's wrong. Or even some documentation on
what order directories are searched.
There are 920 directories (in my subdirectory called work) that have files
called "root" in them (that means 920 directories with files under CVSNT
control). That's a lot to scan by hand.
There are also 57488 files in the repository.
