Tony, I can _guarantee_ that it leave the file in such a state, that
if one does another update, the same error occurs. deleting the
file, of course, causes an update, an no further problems. This is
happening with a server that is NOT cvsnt (source forge, actually)
and it's does cause some problems in an automated regression test I
run on one of the projects (boost). The next time it happens, I'll
try to zip up all the relevant files and send them to you.
this is what I have now:
C:\Projects\boost>cvs ver
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build
2260 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.20 (client/server)
C:\Projects\boost>type cvs\root
:ssh:vawjr at boost.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost
