Hi!

When I'm trying to commit to my cvs I get the following:
------------------
In C:\jobb\code\Engine: "C:\Program Files\TortoiseCVS\cvs.exe" "-q" 
"commit" "-m" "" "TODO.txt"
CVSROOT=:pserver:username at computer-ip:/CVSROOT

Checking in TODO.txt;
/CVSROOT/Engine/TODO.txt,v  <--  TODO.txt
new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3
done
Unknown escape character '\C' ignored.
Unknown escape character '\C' ignored.
Unknown escape character '\C' ignored.
Unknown escape character '\C' ignored.
Script execution failed
------------------
where username is my username and computer-ip is changed to the ip to my 
cvs-computer.

I read that "unknown escape character"-error could arise when using 
backslash instead of forward slash in the *info-files in CVSROOT. But 
none of them contains a backslash as far as I can see.

Does anyone have a clue what could cause this error?

Regards
Björn
