I upgrade my cvsnt installation on my notebook from 2.0.51d to 2.5.03
(Scorpio) Build 2151.

The first version was in a zip file with the latest WinCvs version,
you can donwload it from WinCvs homesite, and
the second downloaded from march-hare site.
The problem was on the command line output of cvs.exe and WinCvs
integration.
With the 2.5.03 version the keywords available was incomplete...
Here the two output:

C:\Programmi\CVSNT>cvs -z9 -r info pserver

This is a problem in WinCvs because it use this output to define the
available option in CVSROOT dialog window, and if the cvsnt is the
2.5.03 there isn't possibility to use the dialog window in wincvs
because isn't possible to set user,host,port information.
Same problem with ssh, gserver and ssh protocol.

You can see in the WinCvs source this file

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cvsgui/cvsgui/common/CvsRootDlg.cpp?rev=1.10&only_with_tag=WINCVS_2_0_2_BRANCH&view=markup

that to set the dialog window, it parse the cvs output to find the line
"Keywords available:" and then take the possible setting.

There is a solutions ?

Thank you
