The fix reported was around line 764 in this same file:
# consume each file found in the resulting log
for file in chunk:
filename, default_branch, taginfo, eof = _parse_log_header(rlog)
added ==> file.path = string.replace(file.path,'\\','/')
if eof == _EOF_LOG:
If someone who knows Python enough can supply a full patch it would be
good. Preferably to the ViewCvs developers so CVS can be updated.
Then the installer would be on more stable ground I guess.
