Hi,

I'm running cvsnt and tortoise cvs.  When I do a merge command (and type 
in commit ids) from tortoise, it runs the following:

In C:\builds\current: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" "-x" 
"update" "-j" "@<171041e2d90b0745" "-j" "@171041e2d90b0745" "."
CVSROOT=:sspi:dev-server:/ewcode

This results not only in the changes merging as expected, but it also 
updates any *other* files that have been changed since my last update. 
It's not a big deal, but it can be annoying...

For the record:

C:\builds\current>"C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.58d (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.58d (client/server)


Thanks,
-kz
