Let me repeat myself: CVSNT is "free", not as in "free beer" but as in "freedom to contribute", therefore when you come across a bug please create a new thread in the newsgroup and report the bug and supply the necessary information so that we can address it: http://march-hare.com/cvspro/faq/faq2.asp#2z Or if your organisation is willing to fork out the software and support costs that IBM charge for clearcase, consider asking them to pay for professional support which will provide your organisation with access to the engineers who write CVS and ensure that you the features of most value to you get priority. > (BTW, CVSNT has the same/bad time processing dependency from length > of the history). Are you talking about "history" here or "log"? The "cvs history" command is useless since it never returns an accurate history. The history logging function was designed with the principle of "if for any reason the server cannot record the history then ignore the error", including write errors. So the user must always assume that the history is inaccurate. CVSNT has an Audit module that should be used instead, and you can write your own reports (using Excel, or Crystal Reports or whatever). The audit will cause the server not to be changed unless the audit is successful, therefore ensuring the audit is a faithful trail of all changes to the server. The plan for CVSNT 2.6 is that the the audit database will be used for "cvs history" queries instead (or perhaps it will be a new command of its own, or a switch on the history command).
