I think I may have found a bug, but as I am new to CVSNT it could just be stupidity. (I am hoping it will turn out to be the former. :) ) CVSNT 2.5.02.2064 I am getting commit failures when auditing is enabled for excel files (possibly other binary types, this is the first one I noticed it on). The commit stalls for about 30 seconds then reports that it has aborted and to consult the above errors of which there are none. I think I have tracked this down to adding all my binary files with the 'B' option. (binary diff algorithm). If I add the files using the default 'b' option every thing works fine. (Just the fact that auditing is enabled causes a problem even if all the logging options are unchecked.) I wanted to use the 'B' option as I am storing a lot of MSOffice and CASE tool files which as stated in the documentation has a significant impact on the repository size. (I performed a little experiment on a word document that showed a 33% saving after only 3 commits with no perceptable impact on performance [not accuratly timed].) The following steps should reproduce the problem: 1. Create a new excel file (office 2003 in my case.) 2. Add the file to CVSNT with the binary diff option. 3. Commit the file. (Works as expected.) 4. Edit the file and make a small change. (the letter a was added to cell A1) 5. Commit the file. (This fails after a time out.) Below is the trace of the commit at step 5 above.
