What is the capacity of the tagging function? I am new to the whole CVS game, and am hitting the ground pretty fast. I have taken over a single project in which one of the subfolders holds a tree about 400 other subfolders, and almost 4000 files all told. Rumor has it that they used to be able to tag the entire tree with one motion. They cannot now. Now I cannot even get a sub-subfolder with 79 sub-sub-folders and "only" 900 files to tag all at once. If I drill down and tag smaller folders individually, every folder in the tree tags without error. This problem occurs when I tag a lot of folders at once, and it occurs whether I tag from the TortoiseCVS sandbox, or from a local sandbox on the Linux server. Once with TortoiseCVS I did cause a subfolder to begin tagging and then error out for no good reason, but that only happened once. When it errored I got: ..... T xxxxx/business/adaptors/xxxxx.WebServices/unitTest/xxxxx.WebServices.UnitTests/Web References/Receipt/Receipt.wsdl Error, CVS operation failed I tried again, and it succeeded. For those keeping score, the directory names are highly redundant. The 3 groups of five x's in the line above all represent the same string repeated 3 times in course of one directory tree name. This made writing taginfo scripts very challenging indeed. I do have a taginfo script, BTW, but I don't think that it is even called before this error begins to rear its ugly head. Once the script decides to start running on a small enough folder, it runs to completion in seconds. Symptoms: Right click on the folder to tag, and enter the name of the tag to put on every file in the tree. The TortoiseCVS dialogue pops up saying: In D:\xxxxx\suites: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "tag" "-c" "dd-felpm-PMTest8" "xxxxx/business" CVSROOT=:pserver:idxxxxx at server:/usr/local/oldcvs The window then hangs indefinitely. If I tag all the subfolders manually it might take 5 minutes. The window will hang for 30 minutes easily. Done locally on the server, the symptoms are simply that the command goes into waiting mode indefinitely. Linux CVSNT Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.58b (client/server) (also happens on 2.0.58d) TortoiseCVS version 1.8.18 CVS version: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.62.1817 (client/server) Thanks for any ideas.
