I think you mean "cvs update -P -d"
Try "cvs --help update" to see the available options.
It's been a while since I used WinCVS, but I think it shows the exact
command line it's executing (or perhaps it's hidden and you can turn
it on). This should give you an idea of what your perl script should do.

Correct. If Microsoft get a reasonable number of errors reported for
the same product, they do at least appear to play hunt-the-vendor to
pass on the information - but I don't know whether there's a fee payable
to Microsoft for this, or whether one can pre-emptively register to
receive information for one's own product.

Subject: [cvsnt] Merge issue
To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook
Message-ID: <ep9v9c$pef$1 at paris.nodomain.org>

Hi all,
Since upgrading our CVSNT server to 2.5.0.2382 (we used 2.0.58d until
now) we experience several merge issue.
One of them is merging from a branch to the trunk. It happened twice
that the content of the branch was not entirely merged in the trunk.
Another one that happened today is when a user updated its modified
local copy (merging then changes from another user) :
USER_A start modifying 1.50.2.16
USER_B made some changes and commited them up to 1.50.2.18
So the tree is :
...
|
1.50.2.16
|
1.50.2.17
|
1.50.2.18
with USER_A working on 1.50.2.16
Changes from USER_A and USER_B do not overlap so we don't expect to have
any conflict.
When USER_A updated, CVS told him he was merging changes from USER_B but
in fact, it was not, every changes USER_B made were discarded
(unfortunatly we discovered it after the merged file was commited)
Of course, trying to reproduce the error by rebuilding the file
"hierarchy" in another module failed. Everything work then as expected.
So my questions are :
Am I the only one facing these kind of issues ?
Can it be my setup ? (server is 2.5.0.2382, clients are 2.5.0.2382
through WinCVS)
Can I give you anything to help you solving this ?
Who is making the merge ? the server or the client ? Is it internal
procedure or does it rely on third party merger ?
Is it safe to go back to server 2.0.58d from 2.5.0.2382?
These incident really hurts now because some new developers are pushing
for going to perforce. Of course these 3 issues do not speak in favor of
CVSNT though we are using it for 4 years now without any incident
until recently (which I associate with the upgrade to 2.5.0.2382, but
this might be pure coincidence).
thanks for your great work and the help,
Sebastien
