Things are getting really strange.


I created a new sandbox directory, and checked out the latest branch,
RELEASE_5-01-2008. That went fine. I edited stock.aspx.vb, then tried a
commit, using the same command you showed me:

cvs ci -m "test commit"

and the results:

cvs server: nothing known about `-m'
cvs server: nothing known about `test commit'
cvs server: nothing known about `--'
cvs server: Examining clientwebsite
cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!


It's as if CVSNT isn't recognizing an in-line commit message!


So I tried without the inline message, adding the message into Notepad when
CVSNT prompted me:

cvs ci
cvs server: nothing known about `-m'
cvs [server aborted]: Couldn't open RCS file /clientwebsite/Another test
commit
,v: Invalid argument
cvs commit: saving log message in
C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Local\Temp\cvs80F5.tmp


"Another test commit" is the text I entered into Notepad and saved! Yet
CVSNT seems to think it's a file name!

I even tried not adding anything to the message in Notepad, just closing
Notepad. After being prompted again, I pressed "c" to continue without a log
message, and got:

cvs server: nothing known about `-m'
cvs server: nothing known about `--'
etc.


Am I losing my mind here????


Thanks,


-Andrew
